title: How much extra memory does garbage collection require?
body: <p>I heard once that for a language to implement and run garbage collection <em>correctly</em> there is on average of 3x more memory required. I am not sure if this is assuming the application is small, large or either.</p>
  
  <p>So i wanted to know if theres any research or actually numbers of garbage collection overhead. Also i want to say GC is a very nice feature.</p>
