curprev 07:1207:12, 15 September 2025 Sirfurboy talk contribs 35,157 bytes −70 →Memory handling: See e.g. https://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf - GC can be faster, although it will depend on tuning and application. Non GC languages are best suited to real-time computing or situations where memory is tight, since GC is only faster if the heap size is large. undo
curprev 06:5306:53, 15 September 2025 Sirfurboy talk contribs 35,227 bytes −168 Undid revision 1311363950 by AlohaEh (talk) The source is a company blog, and although actually it is pretty good, it does not cite its sources, so we can do better. But more importantly, it does not verify this statement, and for the very good reason that this statement is wrong. GC is not always slower, since GC languages can pre-allocate memory pages efficiently. undo Tag: Undo
