-1 for that reason.

Yes, but then we are making assumptions at how GC is implemented 
in VMs. It is perfectly legal for a VM to not GC until it has filled
the heap completely. So if you start with a heap of 5MB and has a
heap max of 2GB, GC may not kick in until you have reached that upper
limit.

Too much uncertainty.
