nanoTime() method returns the current value of the most precise available system timer, in nanoseconds. The value returned represents nanoseconds since some fixed but arbitrary time (in the future, so values may be negative) and provides nanosecond precision, but not necessarily nanosecond accuracy.

How Fast Is System nanoTime?

nanoTime() takes about 25 nanoseconds. Not great, not terrible. It implies it’s probably unwise to use System. nano() to measure anything taking less than a few dozens of nanoseconds as the overhead of our instrumentation would be higher than the measured interval.

What is System runFinalization in Java?

runFinalization() method runs the finalization methods of any objects pending finalization. Calling this method suggests that the Java virtual machine expend effort toward running the finalize methods of objects that have been found to be discarded but whose finalize methods have not yet been run. … The method System.
