system.  Since it's not presently a "problem" in LeJOS, might a free()
in the .rcx package be useful?

How 'bout implementing a "recycler" of some sort?  Running it
periodically in a quieter control thread, or just not using it
at all for smaller, tighter code?

Great article, Jonathan! That's exactly what I need to get started. Your point about garbage collection (esp. lack thereof) reminded me of a question I have for everyone: Since LeJOS doesn't currently implement garbage collection, it seems there are (...)
