+// The deduplication thread is where the actual deduplication occurs. It waits for

+// the queue and tries to deduplicate them. It uses the deduplication hashtable to
+// find identical, already existing, character arrays on the heap. The thread runs
+// concurrently with the Java application but participates in safepoints to allow
+// the GC to adjust and unlink oops from the deduplication queue and table.
