Description
The calculation of the GC overhead for the UseGCOverheadLimit option
includes the GC costs for all full GC's.  This calculation should not
include explicit GC's (System.gc()) because those have been requested
by the application and such an action should not induce an out-of-memory
because of excessive GC costs.
