The finalize method prevents that the memory, used by the objects containing the finalize method, is collected and available for the garbage collector. Instead, the memory allocated by such classes are enqueued to a java-internal finalize queue runner. This slows down all operations that uses a lot of object containing finalize methods.
this fix does not remove all finalize method, but such that may be used for throw-away objects that are allocated many times. This should cause a better run-time performance and less OutOfMemoryErrors
