OpenJDK vs Sun/Oracle JDK

Wowza AMI comes with OpenJDK due to their license, it’s fine, but what do you suggest to use with Wowza Media Server 3.5+?

         ITS KNOWN TO HAVE PERFORMANCE AND GRAPHICS ISSUES!
         SWITCH TO THE ORACLE(SUN) JDK BEFORE REPORTING PROBLEMS!

The second question: Wowza Permormance Tuning article mentions about usage Sun JDK to make GC tuning properly, is this obsolete?

that is in the experimental stage. It is designed for low pause time, high-throughput applications such as Wowza Media Server. 
It is an option to explore. There is more information below. To enable this garbage collector, the additional settings are:

The third question is about optimisation as well.

Thanks for the answer, but we do really have problems with performance and lost video files captured by webcam through the flash player.

I’ve sent an email and would like to get full detailed answer, because we do really use and pay for using Wowza in production during 4 years
