I don't get it... it's slower to deallocate a bunch of objects
together with refcounting than to deallocate all of them
individually over a longer period of time?
could be - think of an large hierarchy of objects which tends to take
some time to deconstruct ... a background gc could be better for your
application speed in this situation - by the cost of smaller pause and
more resource usage
or better - what is the real reason for Java and C# for using garbage
collectors if ref-counting will be always better (except cyclic stuff)?
