Strange behaviour of 'WeakArray finalization process'

Hi,

we observe strange behaviour of the WeakArray finalization process in a 
3.5 and 3.7 image with Seaside. Seaside does use WeakArray`s heavily to 
cache its state. The problem is that the WeakArray finalization 
suddenly makes the whole image to freeze for a few minutes while doing 
the clean-up, if there is a certain amount of weak-elements.

Does anybody observed the same behaviour? Does anybody know how to 
improve the WeakArray handling?

Cheers,
Lukas & Adrian
