A copying GC copies the live data, deallocation of a large 
complex data structure is free in this scenario. Same if you use 
a manually managed memory region for the data structure and then 
deallocate the region via some batch operation. But hey, this 
simple fact must be wrong because some guy read a single paper 
about GCs that doesn't even cover this point.
