'jw' makes a **very** interesting point.
Is this a built-in problem that 'no one wants to talk about', or is there
some tweak or technique or 'magic' that is able to mitigate the 'fact of
life' existence of garbage collection that is known only to some
(particularly those who **never** mention this as a problem)?
