我们都知道Java程序之所以被广大程序员青睐，很大的一个原因是因为Java有GC(垃圾收集)，不用程序员花很大的精力来解决内存释放和泄漏问题。而这些问题总是C/C++程序员需要花很大精力来认真地面对的。
问题总是双面的，GC给我们带来了很大的快乐，释放了程序员很多的精力和时间，但是在某些时候也会给我们带来一些小小的麻烦。Java里的Object并非交给GC去释放就可高枕无忧了，下面从JDK1.4的Demo中Java2D的Memory Monitor说起。
先看看Memory Monitor单独运行的效果。
可以看到因为有个While循环，GC释放内存有一定的时间，在这个时间中间，内存消耗的很厉害。峰值达到923K。程序代码的如下：
