Just a small note on Java garbage collection.
Any calls to Runtime.gc() tell the virtual machine (VM)
that you wish to have garbage collection run, but whether
gc is actually run is entirely up the VM.. Most VMs will run
gc soon after calling gc(), but the specs don't mandate it so
you never can tell and isn't something you should rely on.
