;( ;( This is a common wrong assumption people have about Java's modern GC algorithms. In fact, they run all the time, even when not configured to use the incremental (or train) collector. With all the default VM settings, GC scanning and reclaiming for a typical application will happen often, long before the heap is largely allocated, frequently more than once a second. This is pretty easy to see if you enable -verbose:gc flag to the JVM.
