Sorry, I was trying to be ironic. People keep telling that the GC 
was removed because it was too slow, but it is pretty clear that, 
however how slow it is, it is not slower than swapping.

I more and more irritated by the fact that we justify everything 
here because it have to be fast or whatever, and at the end, we 
have unreliable software that aren't even that fast in many cases.

I'm working on a program that now require more than 2.5Gb of RAM 
to compile, where separate compilation is not possible due to bug 
8997 and that randomly fails to compile due to bug 8596. It is 
NOT fast and that insane memory consumption is a major cause of 
slowness.

make; make; make; make; make is the new make.
