Sam Halliday commented on VFS-593:
----------------------------------
we're just going to monkey patch this in our application. Sorry, can't share
the heap dump, but should be trivial for you to reproduce.
> duplicated Strings inside WindowsLocalFile
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: VFS-593
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-593
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Sam Halliday
>
> I did a YourKit analysis of a heapdump when running ENSIME, which uses VFS2,
> and I found several GB (25%) of the heap was wasted on duplicated strings
> within VFS2.
> This could be averted by using `.intern()` on Strings that represent paths.
