Memory Consumption and finalize()

We have noticed that the overridden finalize() method creates quite a
few java.lang.ref.Finalize objects.  By commenting out this method we
have noticed a 40%-50% memory reduction.  From 9.8 meg to 4.1 meg, can
anyone think of any dangers associated with removing the overriden
finalize method?

My apologies, long day so far.  The only one in the Xerces-J source.

It would help a lot if you could qualify your statement in letting us
know which finalize() method you're talking about.
