As Mark writes above (and my interpretation of things) :

I thought we had taught you better than that...
Ooops.
The time it takes to perform a GC is *not* dependent on the number or
size of dead objects, just on the live ones.
That is counter-intuitive. Pray, why is that ?
(Or point again to a page describing the process, maybe. That would be useful for the OP
also).
