I don't think a generational collector help is this case. There are only 8 strings that remain live for a long time. I doubt this significantly slows down the GC. I think a better test would be to allocate about 10000 short strings initially (and keep them live), and then create 100000 other strings that are discarded immediately. -- Jerome
