> JAVA has a nasty tendency to leak like a sieve until the GC hits a > steady state. As does Modula 3. You've *got* to be kidding, right? Do you have any idea how often the GC collection pass is run? It would be *very* difficult in real world programs to leak any signficicant (~1MB) of memory before the GC phase kicked in. I know, I've tried and have benchmarks to prove it. Using 100% of the CPU for minutes at a time, I still get the GC kicking in using Sun's JVM implementation. (The M$ implementation is notorious for doing bad things since it uses a different reaping technology, so it's much less useful for programs that make heavy use of 'new'.)
