It's not that easy. My core problem (which has nothing to do with StringUtils btw) is that the WebappClassLoader is not GC'd by Tomcat. This is due to some strong references to it. I'll have to find them in the profiler (which is time-consuming). The thing about StringUtils is that it uses so much memory (even though padding is not used), not that it prevents the webapp from being garbage collected.
