JVM Performance Tuning

There are JVM options that will yield performance gains with certain hardware. These are advanced options and can cause unexpected behavior when used incorrectly (possibly even JVM crashes). We recommend that you contact Pitney Bowes Technical Support if you want to explore increasing performance by tuning the JVM.

  • On servers with multiple CPUs, you can add the option -XX:+UseParallelGC to improve GC processing.
  • These options may improve performance, although on some hardware they may cause JVM crashes.
