Of course not.

But I sense that this problem doesn't occur for everybody. I know a 
number of people running build 642 - none of us has the problem to the 
extent you describe.

I do see some garbage collection lag now an then (and that can take some 
time - probably up to 60 seconds). But that's just how the JVM works.

Incremental garbage collection is - surprisingly enough - not that much 
better. At least not for me.

This whole problem (and the problem concerning memory consumption in 
general) is a big deal for the Java platform. You need to make very 
smart code in order to not use lots and lots of memory. And there is a 
significant overhead with using much memory in Java. Especially if just 
a tiny corner of the JVM's heap is swapped out to disk.
