Hi Nils,

If the counters are updated frequently from multiple threads, there might be contention/scalability issues. Instead of synchronization on updates, you might consider using atomic updates provided by sun.misc.Unsafe, like for example: Most of the jvmstat counters are in VM and we only update a small number of counters in the libraries. Even so, I think your idea is good as further usage could potentially to be an issue, particularly add/increment (which involves a get at this). So irrespective of Nil's patch (which I think is now just a proposal to add a counter, not original patch that Jason was commenting on) then we should take your patch.
