Probably doesn't know that it should deallocate so eagerly.
A GC.collect(); call may help.
That's a good idea. GC really needs to be kicked in once in a
while because it did _nothing_ in 8 hours, even though my
application is just a couple of timers - it isn't a hard task
for CPU or memory and there's plenty of time to collect some
garbage.
Now I finally understand why GC is not a great thing. I was
writing apps utilizing GC for a long time and never had
problems with it, but when it came down to this simple program
it stabbed me in the back.
I wouldn't really blame the GC. There is a higher chance you're
just not using it how it's meant to be, especially since it looks
like you're mixing manual memory management with GC memory.
