Metaspace size affects GC tuning and memory allocation.
When tuning the JVM, Metaspace size should be considered alongside heap settings to optimize performance. Incorrect Metaspace configuration can lead to unexpected garbage collection behavior or memory shortages. For instance, an application with high class churn may need a larger Metaspace to avoid frequent GC-induced pauses.
