You might already have an idea on what garbage collection is and what it does. For those who don't know, no I am not talking about Microsoft's Windows Source code. Garbage Collection is a feature built in the compiler to recover memory failure and to...

Does it happen on every system or just from performance critical ones?

It does not depend on system but rather the programming language. All modern languages have some form of garbage collector implemented and will face this issue.

thanks for sharing man , but most of the time garbage collection is pretty fast in Java and usually i make sure create object and variables in a scope so that once they become out of scope it will be available for garbage collection need to try the source code shared by you , and love the intro bro ;)

it depends on the programming language as well as the size of the source code. Java's garbage collection is faster as compared to others. But I would suggest instead of making the objects and variables available for garbage collection, use a centralized pool and release this variable into that pool, so that other parts of the program can re-use the memory. If you want to see how much time is being taken by the garbage collector in your program, you can use the profiling tab to check in the Chrome's developer tools.
