Also, I have to point out that programming for a garbage collected
runtime is very different from doing manual memory management. The same
patterns don't apply, and you optimize in different ways. For instance,
when using a GC, it is very recommendable that you allocate up front and
use object pooling - and most importantly, don't allocate at all during
your render loop.
The sourcecode is not aviable yet, as it is in a repository of my
university, but I can zip it and upload the current version if that is
wanted. But it currently does only support Windows and does not have any
setup instructions yet.
I do object pooling in both versions, as in game developement you
usually don't allocate during the frame. But still in the GC version you
have the problem that way to many parts of the language allocate and you
don't event notice it when using the GC.
Just to clarify, I'm into 3d engine developement since about 7 years
now. So I'm not a newcomer to the subject.

Sure, I just want to point out that it's a problem with the language (GC
allocations being very non-obvious) as opposed to the nature of GC.
