GC issues

Hi All

We are trying to profile our software on a single server in order to
determine how many transactions per second it can handle. We were trying to
figure out to what extent we can push it to. What we are observing is that
things run fine on the server for like an hour and then everything goes
haywire. We tried to dump the GC details and figured that the full times are
on an average 15 secs (snapshot shown below). I am using the following VM
options
-Xms1024M -Xmx4096M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50. How do I go about tuning this? I am
sure one of you might have more insight and point in the right direction as
to what the next steps should be for me. Please advice
