Memory allocator: tcmalloc, jemalloc, they are concerned with fetching (and releasing) pages of memory from the OS and allocating objects for the program

GC is only responsible for saying to the memory allocator "this object is no longer used"

(please stay focused on java)

Lately, they seems to work with CRIU, various heuristics, multi-stage in-process bytecode compilation ..

Java is a mess, they are working hard to avoid fixing their issue (that nobody else have, so fixes are available)
