I'm using Glassfish 3.1.1 web profile in production envirnoment and it's eating too much CPU. Here is server settings: Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit, Intel Xeon 8core @ 3,2GHz, 8GB ram. I'm using JDK 1.7u2 64bit. Glassfish JVM settings:
<jvm-options>-XX:+UseCompressedOops</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xmn1g</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xss128k</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+UseParallelOldGC</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:ParallelGCThreads=4</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xmx3g</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+DisableExplicitGC</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-d64</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:PermSize=256m</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Xms3g</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:MaxPermSize=256m</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-XX:+AggressiveHeap</jvm-options>
I've also tune some options according to http://jfarcand.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/putting-glassfish-v3-in-production-essential-surviving-guide/ Running for few hours or 1 day Glassfish use 15% to 40% CPU, someties 90% and application dosen't respond.

Edit: I solved the problem, there is bug in Glassfish gzip compression, so I turned it off. http://www.java.net/forum/topic/glassfish/glassfish/glassfish-301-gzip-problem-threads-apparently-spinning-100-cpu-use
Instead I would use this: http://www.servletsuite.com/servlets/gzipflt.htm to compress content.
This is apparently a bug in GlassFish 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. The JIRA issue for it contains patches which might help.
