Few new GCs for huge heap - https://dzone.com/articles/java-garbage-collection-3

Objects are allocated with extra space for an indirection pointer. When the Java threads access the object, they first read the indirection pointer to see whether the object has moved. When the garbage collector moves an object, it updates the indirection pointer to point to the new location. New objects are allocated with an indirection pointer that points to themselves. Only when an object is copied during GC will the indirection pointer point to somewhere else. - https://blogs.oracle.com/javamagazine/understanding-garbage-collectors
