Agreed but, once again, I never saw any definitive proof that GC was to blame for that. It could just be too many background apps/daemons starting simultaneously when you just wake up the phone to make a call - an entirely different problem.
By the way and for some fun try to google "slow ipad" or "slow iphone".

A typical application has an order of magnitude less network connections and files than memory objects, so GC means a LOT less to worry about.

Which language does better and how? Please give some pseudo code example.
