What do you think @developersu about calling the garbage collector to maintain an acceptable use of the RAM? If you want I could try it.

[developersu]

@manuelsblanco sure, go ahead =)

Also we can just run application with -Xmx1g flag so it will limit memory usage, thus garbage collector will be calling more frequently without any code changes.

AFAIK java automatically allocates some (huge) amount of virtual memory. No matter how much memory you have it's like some percent of it.

@developersu

I'm going to think of several strategies to reduce the use of RAM, maybe call the gc() and use the right type of primitive to save memory.

@developersu

Can you guide me in order to solve this?

@manuelsblanco Ok, I guess it's fixed now. You can try again with latest sources.
