Example Concept: In garbage-collected languages, excessive object allocation can cause frequent garbage collection cycles, which may result in longer pause times as the garbage collector attempts to reclaim memory. This can degrade application performance by increasing latency and reducing throughput. Additionally, excessive allocation can lead to memory fragmentation, making it harder for the runtime to efficiently manage memory, and can also cause cache inefficiencies as newly allocated objects may not fit well into CPU cache lines, leading to more cache misses.
