I think your are right: using finalize method to release a resource has no measurable
impact on garbage collector performance.
But if the jvm has no time to run the garbage collector than the finalize method won't
be called --> too many file opened exception (it is the limit of the OS not of the
jvm)
I'm not sure that all jvm's garbage collector runs as soon as possible.
