Um, did you? Because you can have custom allocators for classes too..
First, there were other reasons, such as I don't need polymorphism or
interfaces for those node types, so switching to structs helped eliminate
bloat for those features.
What I did was allocate an array of structs vs. allocating each node,
which uses the GC less. The less you use the GC the better when it comes
to performance :)
Can you do that with classes, I don't know. I thought it was impossible
to allocate several classes in one block. It was pretty easy to do the
custom allocator with structs...
