- Setting gctrace to any value > 0 also causes the garbage collector
- to emit a summary when memory is released back to the system.
- This process of returning memory to the system is called scavenging.
- The format of this summary is subject to change.
- Currently it is:
- scvg#: # MB released printed only if non-zero
- scvg#: inuse: # idle: # sys: # released: # consumed: # (MB)
- where the fields are as follows:
- scvg# the scavenge cycle number, incremented at each scavenge
- inuse: # MB used or partially used spans
- idle: # MB spans pending scavenging
- sys: # MB mapped from the system
- released: # MB released to the system
- consumed: # MB allocated from the system

madvdontneed: setting madvdontneed=1 will use MADV_DONTNEED
instead of MADV_FREE on Linux when returning memory to the
kernel. This is less efficient, but causes RSS numbers to drop
