Description
Right now, G1 uses fixed size PLABs for allocation during GC (set by the imaginatively-named parameter -XX:ParallelGCG1AllocBufferSize). It'd be nice to do what CMS does and use dynamic ergonomic resizing of the PLABs.

PUBLIC COMMENTS This might have dependency on 6722568, as if PLABs are very large and appear as a single allocation to the BOT might impose a non-trivial scanning overhead which might cancel out any benefits we'll get out of using large PLABs in the first place.
