GC time is proportional to the number of live (reachable) objects, not the size of the heap. If the app is making heavy use of weak references, this may allow more live objects to persist in a larger heap until GC gets fed up with the mess and throws them all away. > Why do I feel that a comment from Chuck is going to follow > that one later on ?
