One comment on 'System.go()':

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#gc()

This is basically only a "strong suggestion" that the JVM runs a collection.
Java could basically say, na, I don't need to run a collection cycle at this
time; it knows better that the programmer most of the time. Is there any way
to know for sure if Java actually runs a gc cycle?
