However, relying on the GC to close the clients can put pressure on resource allocation on the machine, which we suspect is the cause for the slow down and the test failures. @Michael-Mc-Mahon suggested we could try to relieve the pressure by making explicit calls to `System.gc()`, in the hope to reclaim the abandonned clients earlier.
