>From the trace (4->4->0) it looks like the app is allocating about 4MB every 10ms. The app also has little (0 rounded) reachable data, sometimes called heap ballast. Since there is little ballast the GC is attempting to keep the heap from growing beyond 5MB. The GC is using about 2% of the CPU resources to do its job.
All of this seems perfectly reasonable from the GC's perspective.
