Hi
If the JVM is going for a GC, since you have enabled -verbose,
you should be able to see some entries like below.
[GC 30464K->2597K(523136K), 0.0684625 secs]
[Full GC 16189K->2703K(523136K), 0.2983244 secs]
This indicates that JVM is performing a GC.
But "starting collection" etc, I have never seen in the logs, I suppose they might not be related to GC.
But you can consider GC running for every 2 minutes to be normal. But again why dont you increase the heap size (initial & max) allocated and then check.
