Description
In CRM Fuse, string deduplication table fixup takes a significant amount of time (~25-30% of average gc pause time).

One interesting thing noticed is that only around half of the threads actually do work. This may be due to startup/synchronization taking so long for many threads.

This is also somewhat similar to the problem described in JDK-8040120.

One option to fix this is to merge string deduplication work with other parallel tasks in the "Other" group if possible.
Comments
See if this is still a big problem after the changes for JDK-8087324, and potentially reprioritize.
