title: Do I need to worry about the String Constant Pool?
body: <p>I have a Java application that's very String-heavy - it takes a feed of huge numbers of big, different String objects.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to worry about the String Constant Pool for memory and performance?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to see how big the pool is at any point?</p>
