Hey folks I guess I should have said, "no explicit garbage collection was performed". There is a compiled-in debugging option that forces FOP to to a System.gc() before printing the memory stats, but many applications of FOP will be long lived so asynchronous gc is better. So, GC is definitely done, but not before the memory stats, which is why the memory stats are marked as "should not be used comparatively" - actually-free memory will not be reported as such by the system unless a gc is done first.
Regards Mark p.s. I am starting to think that saying "don't use this comparatively" is like saying "wait until the seat belt signs are off before getting out of your seat". :) On Sat, 2001-11-10 at 02:21, Matt Savino wrote: > Make sure you're using -hotspot.
