Yes. The trashcan is System.gc (which on sun's implementation actually forces a
gc, although it isn't required to do so by the spec).
If you have 1 gig of memory, then it is either time to get a faster processor, or its
something else. It has previously been reported that mapped drives have
something to do with the long duration pauses. (I'm not exactly sure how). You
could try turning off file synchonization.
Also, what do you have the max heap size set for? If it is humungous, and you
don't need it to be so large, you will just get inordinatly long garbage collection
times
when you get around to collecting the 900 megabytes of temporary objections.
Make the heap size just big enough. Run incremental garbage collection (assuming
you don't think the cure is worse than the disease), and increase the size of the
young generation.
In jdk 1.4.1 sun is supposedly supposed to come out with a concurrent garbage
collector, which should make all of this moot.
