Yes.

The issue is the HTTP/2 priority tree. Essentially, Tomcat has to keep some 
information around about the previous few hundred requests on every
HTTP/2 connection. Until .37/.39 Tomcat just kept objects used for the 
request/response. As of .37/.39 Tomcat replaces these with a much lighter 
object once the request is completed.

Should be.
