Somewhat off topic, but befitting of the triviality of this thread, do I understand correctly that you are saying garbage collection never causes any noticeable slowdown in real-world circumstances? That's not remotely true. --089e0141aab06ebe9504e2966b99 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

So? That python sometimes needs to do some kind of background
processing is not a problem, whether it is garbage collection,
allocating more memory, shufling around data blocks or reencoding a
string, that doesn't matter. If you've got a real world example whe= re
one of those things noticeably slows your program down or makes the
program behave faulty then you have something that is worthy of
attention.
