I'm assuming by "FIVE TIMES" you're referring to this paper. Unfortunately the paper is flawed
with respect to reference counting, because it doesn't include the reference counts
- it just assumes that the manually managed version "knows" somehow exactly
when to free stuff. With ref counts you bloat every object by 4-8 bytes, and
of course that has an effect on cache and memory, which they don't measure.
You can find a more
detailed response here.
