I'm writing a simple program which uses merge sort to sort very large text files. I split the text file into several temporary files which are sorted and merged together.
The trouble I'm having is that the BufferedFile class seems to have a memory leak. The memory usage of the process slowly goes up until it throws an out of memory exception. I can fix the memory leak by switching to the File class, but that makes the program much slower. Calling GC.collect() didn't help, and neither did explicitly deleting the BufferedFile object.
