That's the kind of scenario where an object database usually has the correct
semantics. Objects are created in a pool, and usually you want them all freed
when the transaction ends.
Still, I don't see why GC wouldn't also work. People seem to have a perception
that GC programs must always be bloated and late in cleaning up. That's
probably not a correct assumption.
