Okay right, interpreting the profile logs is a matter of luck, at least 
for me ;)

But still, I think this is too much to spend a third (3 of 10 seconds) 
of the time in the finalizationProcess. I hope this interpretation is 
correct now?

I'm trying to reproduce the same thing with the GC-VM of John now, 
maybe this gives some more hints.

Thanks for the help,
Lukas
