That's a good question. I can't imagine that you'd need to use this to track normal garbage collected memory. There were pretty good tools already in place for that. I guess what you'd want to use this for, is when your application is directly allocating memory, e.g. via direct byte buffers. That's not something you'd do in an enterprise application, it's more something you'd need for high performance image processing, or maybe for some extremely high performance web server.
