NecOnIce opened a new pull request #968:  Fixed the Reference of the metaclass in ClassInfo.java to use a Weak…
URL: https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/968
 
 
   …Reference now, so the Reference is cleaned up nearly immediately
   
   after freeing the last strong reference of the metaclass.
   
   Prior it was used a SoftReference which prevents the ClassLoader, the ClassInfo and the Metaclass instances from beeing garbage-collected
   until the JVM runs nearly into an OutOfMemoryException (PermGen). This leads to a JVM which is always near the maximum of memory usage.
