But usually, the problem is not that the memory copying takes longer, it
might just be that it takes a too big percentage compared to other tasks.

There's also the problem that making copies takes more active RAM, which
means that the SRAM has to be swapping,...

But do any of these factors change when using an interpreted language or environment as opposed to doing this "natively" (e.g. in C++)?

I mean, when the bottlenecks of copying ram are discussed, I sometimes get the impression that I'm being told: this is the part of code where the overhead of doing things in java (or whatever) rather than c++ is biggest, which is what I find counterintuitive. Or is it just a misunderstanding of mine?

Sorry if this is too much OT but since you kind of mentioned it you woke up an existing curiosity of mine and I ask because it seems you know about it ;)
