If you spend a few 0.1ths of a ms every 10 ms on reference counting, smart 
pointers or passing around other meta data it's the just as bad. I have no 
data but even worse would be, as I expect is true, if non GC apps end up 
being architected different to make memory management easier (if so, you 
can bet money it won't be faster as result).
