The GC does an amazing job of managing managed memory� We really work hard to make sure pages stay hot, and the memory is cached where you need it�. But the reality of the world is that for many folks it is not just managed memory they have to deal with. �Often you have to deal with memory allocated by legacy APIs in an unmanaged heap which the GC does not directly manage or external non-memory resources. �We added a couple of neat features to the CLR in Whidbey to help address these issues

Interesting problem.
