I studied your code and we are fundamentally in agreement! ... Except for need for periodic cleanup of the cache... Maybe we should do CompletableFuture.runAsync(purgeCache, CompletableFuture.delayedExecutor(1, SECONDS)) as a periodic task while cache is non-empty instead of my strategy of relying on a weak reference. Purging a cache on quiescence in the optimal way seems to be a hard problem. Time to write ObjectPool<T> (as many others have done before us)? ObjectPool(Supplier<T> factory, Consumer<T> releaser, maxCacheSize, keepAliveTime) Except this time we'll do it right! With jdk9 machinery!
