I had assumed the Sun VM was a precise/exact GC algorithm (never really
thought about it) until I did some memory tests and found that only with
HotSpot do you get precise/exact GC.
Check out:

for some "fun with -verbosegc output and gnuplot".
The source code (which I got off of the JDC bug linked to from the above
page) might be fun to run once the GC is in Japhar.
