Memory used by CAS

[Scott Battaglia]

I believe Java decides when to actually free the memory based on when it
needs to, not when there's objects that can be freed.  I used to have some
good documentation on when Java's garbage collection runs.  Does anyone have
any good pointers to explanations on how Java's garbage collection runs?
