      Again, fragmentation is a different issue. Garbage collection
involves the removal of garbage - which means blocks of
memory that are no longer referenced by a pointer, but which
due to neglect, have not been de-allocated (ie. memory
leakage).

Does the program fragment memory?
If yes, what are the acceptable limits of that fragmentation?
Will the program terminate before those limits are reached?

One size doesn't fit all.
