Hi Don,

As I said it is confusing :). limitTreeSize does not make much sense
since collectorLimitTreeSize, so it is more or less historical. Just
put limitTreeSize to something bigger to collectorLimitTreeSize, and
just forget about it. collectorLimitTreeSize is the size where the
garbage collection occurs, it is the only interesting variable, but if
limitTreeSize is smaller than that, then the garbage collection will
not occur. Sorry for the confusion.
