What I post here should not even be seriously considered as my views, let alone anybody elses.

Using JMC to view your allocation/lock/IO profiles (regardless of where your JFR data came from)?
The profiles don't reflect the quantity you are interested in, and that can be very misleading.
Consider allocation profiling for instance. 1/n
The "Memory/TLAB" tabs in JMC will show you lists of allocation quantity/ration broken up by instance class/method/thread. The chart will show an allocation bar chart. The units here are appropriate: byte/KiB/MiB/GiB.
But if you look at the profile, the unit has changed! 2/n
