The Java7 default (Concurrent Mark And Sweep, IIRC) will try to work concurrently, but it may still stop the world if it can not find a suitable situation in all threads. This is particularly nasty with for loops which can not be interrupted. At least this is how I understood things. Take it with a grain of salt. The new G1 has some improvements for this situation.
