Comment(by simonmar):

 I would expect to see lots more calls to evacuate on TSOs, but in most
 cases the TSO should be in the old generation, so evacuate will just
 return (in the case of a minor GC, that is).  Are you counting actual
 copies, or just calls to evacuate?

 It would probably be a good idea to add some diagnostics to track the size
 of the run queue too.  I'm not completely convinced that this is your
 problem yet.
