Otherwise, for application of this magnitude, I'd be probably still
chasing memory leaks.


The BIG difference here is that YOU can FIX the memory leaks. You
have very little control over the gc.

The big difference is that he can also program for a non-determinisitic
GC, by thinking what an allocation means. Re-using allocations,
object-pools, etc. can relieve both kinds of code from memory concerns.

If memory issues are a problem, deterministic (in this case, determined
by the programmer) deallocation can also cost a lot of time, and cause
the same problems as he is describing.
