Unless you peer into the implementation details of your superclasses, you should assume that all classes may have a finalizer. Unless you don't care about every last little piece of performance.
In my day app, we regularly cache hundreds of thousands of objects from a persistent (relational) store and it is absolutely critical to us that the instant that those objects aren't required, they give their memory back - that's how we can run in a machine with only(?) 1 gig of ram. So I'm one of those people I mentioned earlier that really really cares that cleanup happens as soon as possible, not when the fourth or fifth pass through the queue is done.
