A constant trickle of disk reads replaces an unbounded amount of stuff hanging around in memory.

This is a data-oriented solution in the footsteps of Mike Acton. I'm not removing fields from structs or switching to SoAs, but I am trying now to manage my caches.

GC is missold as "automatic memory management". All memory management is manual (you have to be careful about nulling references out); GC just simplifies freeing memory.
