Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for instantiating, by a computing device, a slice-object associated with a slice when the slice-object is accessed. The slice-object is released to a slice object cache when accessing is complete. It is determined whether the slice is accessed within a threshold period of time. If the slice is accessed within the threshold period of time, the slice-object is retrieved from the slice-object cache. If the slice is not accessed within the threshold period of time, memory used for the slice-object is released.
