Yes, I'd like to know too. It makes a big difference to anything in
the least bit real-time, like trackers, mod-players, streaming video,
games and so on. I like java, but I've had to avoid it completely for
my own projects because I can't possibly tolerate everything stopping
dead every now and then for it to garbage-collect.
