GC listener

[Pas]

Hello!

Just a quick For-Your-Information. At work we've implemented something very
similar to the notification and System.gc scenario. (The only meaningful
difference is that it's periodic, nothing dynamic-and-notification, there's
a schedule and it blindly takes load off, fires GC, puts load back; and it
uses the load-balancer's health-check functionality to signal that it's
about to do a GC, so it would even work with HAproxy, Hipache or even with
Nginx's 3rd party HealthCheckModule.) And I know of others who do this kind
of dance on their backend.

Cheers,
Pas
