What is the deficiency? How do other languages solve problems created by unfortunate coincidences between your usage pattern and the GC's timing?

Some languages solve this problem by not having a GC at all :) However, with a problem involving huge in memory structures like this, even manually allocating and deallocating everything properly would probably be a non trivial thing.
