<br>
Since the StartTime field is static, why is this considered a leak? The reference has not been lost and is utilized whenever getElapsedWallTime() is invoked. Although it might be infinitesimally more efficient to avoid the new operator, the overall memory consumption is almost identical.<br>
<br>
Are you trying to get rid of the entire heap at some point before process termination?<br>
