That document acknowledges inherent JVM limitations:
> Java garbage collection becomes increasingly fiddly and slow as the in-heap data increases.
So they had to work around that. In my view it's not a tiny issue. I'd say, instead of working around such inherent limitations, it's better not to have them to begin with when making high performance systems. That was my main point above. Time spent dancing around such problems defeats the purpose of supposed easiness of development.
