The key observation of a GC: It must match modern hardware, and it must
match the programming language for which you write it for.
Historically, Java allocated all objects on the heap. This adds GC pressure
and in order to remove such GC pressure, you are soon reaching for a
generational GC model.

My apologies to the original author, but the "state of the art" of
modern garbage collectors is not acceptable if it means this:
"To run dex in process, the Gradle daemon needs a larger heap.
It currently has 1024 MB.
For faster builds, increase the maximum heap size for the Gradle

Thank you for your input!

the near future.
