I've updated the text with the text in the comment above. I made a minor change - let me know if it is ok. From "...aggressively remove unused code if only the given percentage of the code cache is free." to: "...aggressively remove unused code when only the given percentage of the code cache is free."

I would suggest something like this: -XX:StartAggressiveSweepingAt=percent Force stack scanning of active methods to aggressively remove unused code if only the given percentage of the code cache is free. The default value is 10%.

Removed -XX:CodeCacheMinimumFreeSpace and added -XX:StartAggressiveSweepingAt. Need better description text before staging for eng review.
