Review Comment:
@reta I've figured it out, it turns out I mixed up `SoftReference` and
`WeakReference`. Softly referenced objects are only garbage collected as a last
resort before OOM, while weak references objects are ignored completely by the
GC. I've opened PR #1381 as an alternative to this PR, feel free to reject the
one you like less of the two.
