The blog post notes that the Safari that is driven by the automation cannot interact with other windows or user preferences. It also requires that the user has had the "enable remote automation" enablex, which is only possible if

One other way of finding how much memory is used is to enlist JMH's -prof gc option to see what gets generated between runs. I used this to see what StringBuffer did in http://alblue.bandlem.com/2016/04/jmh-st

Each thread does have its own local TLAB in which bump allocations are performed; but you still have the GC effect even if you're using that. Provided you stay entirely within Eden then your GC will just drop the space - but it is pref

Ironically it didn't start out that way. The set was small (15ft), and the first take was reduced by virtue of the fact that the (stage) explosions caused problems for the cast. Roman refused to do another take and they were left with

Compression does not use a significant amount of memory - it's the deduplication which uses a lot of memory. In fact compression can make it run faster as there is less I/O data.
