It's not that simple at all. In fact, it is *impossible* on Android, or any other mobile OS which allows background processes. I've already said this once -- even though your game can be tuned to the max, nothing prevents *other* apps from triggering GC. That is, in my game, I *never*, *ever* do any allocation after startup. However, other background processes do trigger GC, and voila - my game stutters for a bit when GC kicks in. Compare to iPhone, which disallows background processing and the foreground app is never interrupted.
