Kabutz has written a very good article, in his “The Java Specialists” newsletter, about garbage collection. The article discuses the generational garbage collection in the Hotspot JVM and compares the speed of garbage collection in young and old objects.

Garbage collection in young objects is very fast in modern JVMs. I believe that the results of the benchmarks are impressive.
