Thanks! We have a fair bit of a punny humor in our Gothenburg-Sweden engineering office where the information retrieval and big data magic happens. One of our plugins for Elasticsearch that significantly improves GC pressure and performance is called the "Greased Pig" plugin, because it makes Elasticsearch all slippery so it doesn't get stuck in GC hell ;)
