CPython uses reference counting, not incremental (and generational) mark-and-sweep like V8 does. Reference counting generally is detrimental to performance but the benefit is that an object's lifespan is more clearly delineated. That might give you an edge in low (physical) memory environments. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
