With the default mapper, the objects might be collected too early from a debugging perspective. In certain scenarios, such as when investigating a memory leak or finalization issues, the objects must be kept reachable even if they might not be used again. The debug local mapper helps to keep the objects reachable longer.

Earlier the debug local mapper was enabled only by running the entire VM in the debug mode which significantly impacted performance. With the `-XX:+UseDebugLocalMap` option, you can enable the debug local mapper without running the entire VM in the debug mode to investigate memory leak or finalization issues in a more realistic conditions.

"in a more realistic conditions" is not fixed.

Since we are changing this, I'm not sure that "in more realistic conditions" is the best way to state this. I suggest we just end the sentence at "... to investigate memory leak or finalization issues.", unless @tajila has another suggestion.

"... to investigate memory leak or finalization issues.",

I think that suggestion is fine.
