By monitoring the surviving generations metric, one can supposedly catch a leak.

		<description><![CDATA[As described in my earlier post, I managed to get my hand-me-down Dell Dimension 8400 desktop working after a little tinkering and a lot of reading. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 and was up and running for a good week.

But, alas, my poor computer was destined for yet another crippling problem. One evening as I read the news, the cpu usage maxed out, and the computer was unresponsive. I believe Firefox was the only application open. Regardless, it was under a very light load.

After turning the computer off, I waited a few seconds, and then pushed the power button. Instead of booting from my Ubuntu partition, Grub presented me with a command line. I tried manually booting from the hard drive with no luck.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fitzwriter.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2064879&amp;post=20&amp;subd=fitzwriter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was only a matter of time before I needed a Thread-safe Map.  Looking at the synchronization wrappers for the Java  Collections framework, I couldn't help but be disappointed.  The wrapper classes provide external synchronization on the entire Collection.  That means that any read or update method is locking -- one thing in at a time.  What a performance bottleneck!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fitzwriter.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2064879&amp;post=19&amp;subd=fitzwriter&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
