Really? I would say then it is a silly implementation! I the app runs out
of memory,
the first thing the JVM should try is to call the garbage collector
to see if it can get some memory back before it throws an exception.
I thought, trying to run the GC earlier only makes sense to avoid any
delays to happen
when you do not want be interrupted if possible at all!
