I have no idea, I'm not using Java that much. Hopefully others cn help here...

The performance data you sent looks quite good. Working with Java I can imagine 
that faulty Java code can easily use up a few GB of memory so that the system 
has to perform swapping. With 8 GB or RAM and 8 GB of swap a Mac gets slow. 
It's easy to feel, though I did not measure but reboot, which is faster than on 
this other OS...

The number of cache hits looks terribly bad! Although my system is up since 
three weeks it has exactly 0.0 % as well.
