Anyway this connection GC is a hackish solution approach for people who don't
properly manage connections. It is not something that should be necessary in a
properly coded application. In the end it will byte your ass, because it abuses
the garbage collector as a general resource manager, which it simply isn't. GC
only kicks in when a heap generation fills up, but not when the system is
running low on file handles. It's a big mistake to use the GC for other things
than memory management.
