I feel obliged to mention Kris's presentation on garbage collection, 
"Array Slicing Fo' Shizzle" ( 
http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/george-38229-Kris-Array-Slicing-foShizzle-Background-Java-Enigma-GC-Pressure-slic-Education-ppt-powerpoint/ 
), mentions some issues with abusing a garbage collector. (Where are the 
videos for that? I thought they were released, but I don't see any links 
in the likely places.)
