Well, this fit some style of applications like video encoders too.
With games I did have more problems with GC, unless pooling.
Problems that C++ wouldn't have with malloc.

There is a perception problem, and it's reason enough not to talk 
about this GC thing anymore. Because tt hasn't been a problem, 
was easily avoided, and now is just negative PR for nothing.
