My understanding is that the GC runs on a low-priority thread, so you never get to tell it when to run. The operating system and JVM deal with it.

So if you're watching Memory Usage in the Windows Task Manager and not seeing it go down, that might explain why. - MOD --- Christian Witucki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone know that when Garbage Collection is > going on how often it should be set to collect and > if memory is really being returned.
