Strange, if the software expects this little memory wouldn’t it be better to just limit the JVM to less memory?


mukesh610 had the same thought. [0] I think papercrane's response is correct: it makes more sense to disable explicit GC. Running a full GC cycle every frame is going to severely undermine a modern generational garbage collector. Disabling explicit GC, and using a modern low-pause GC, seems like the way to go.
