Hi, thanks for the fast reviews. I did think about stop calling loadNext() after the flag has been set. The main reason for not doing that was just because I wanted to change as little as possible. Now the test works as originally intended. I do not mind removing the calls to loadNext(), but then we would need some timeout waiting for the callback. Currently the test "times out" with an OutOfMemory when we have allocated the remaining 20% of the space.
About line 172, you are correct. I will just remove that line. Thanks!

Yes I am thinking this too. Line 172 is unnecessary, after thresholdExceeded becomes true, Line 170 will always be skipped.
