Even though you can call the garbage collector, it's really only a
suggestion to Java to run the clean up than an explicit invocation of
the garbage collection. If I remember correctly, it has to do with
finalizing unreferenced objects and the algorithms Sun chose to run in
memory. Even if you're doing a lot of manipulations within a loop, you
shouldn't need to call java.lang.System.gc() as long as your properly
var your variables.

What if you had an CFC instance that was doing a lot of data
manipulation within a loop? I have noticed in some pages here that do
just that, that the CF Service just keeps grabbing and grabbing
resources from the server until the entire page has completed running
or until the server runs out of resources. It seems like it should be
able to be forced to release the resources via triggering the GC
manually although that is not what I have observed. I do something
like this to trigger the GC:
objSystem = CreateObject( "java", "java.lang.System" );
objSystem.gc();

1) why do you want to explicitly kill these CFC instances ? if they're
stored in a persistant scope (session, application, server**) I'd
understand, but if they're part of a request their references will be
destroyed when the page finishes loading and they'll be garbage
collected soon enough. trust in the Java GC
