Sorry for this question, but what is the problem with the RC model? Can you show me some code that creates an "unreachable" object?
I can't off the top of my head, but this is a generic problem with languages that have the possibility of creating circular references. A disconnected reference cycle won't be freed in the RC model, but will generally be found in a GC model. The relevant code would be some SWF whose execution creates objects in a reference cycle. Put that code in a loop and you have eventual memory exhaustion with RC, but not with GC.
