Hello,

I have set ebean.autofetch.useFileLogging to false. In DefaultAutoFetchManager I see this (2.7.4):

public void shutdown() {
collectUsageViaGC(-1);
if (useFileLogging) {
serialize();
}
}

useFileLogging is false, so no serialization is done, but collectUsageViaGC is still called even though we aren't going to serialize the data. Why is this done?

I introduced Ebean into my project a couple of months ago. I have almost 30 applications on tomcat deployed using Ebean. I've noticed it takes longer than it used to to shutdown tomcat. I've introduced other technologies as well, so can't say for sure that the cause is Ebean. I'm wondering if the call to System.gc() is contributing to the slow shutdown.

Should collectUsageViaGC be skipped if useFileLogging is false?

Thanks.
