GC overhead limit exceeded at startup after "Installing DBCP monitoring instruments"

[Yohann DULONG]

Hi,

We migrate jira 6.x 32 bits (test 6.0.8 and 6.1.4 - Xmx1200m) from jira 4.3.3 and we have a problem "GC overhead limit exceeded" when we start, every time at the same moment :

How can we resolved this ?

Thank you for your help

The problem comes from the LDAP synchronisation. It's takes 50 mins and shedule every 60 mins.

The CPU and Memory goes up. So synchronisation is every 24h now.
