Totally, you just don't see some things after a long time. I haven't read the code but people mentioned the author is using malloc in a lot of places, you wont' see ill effects from memory fragmentation with a quick benchmark, it could take hours or days to see how large of holes you have in your memory space.

And in Go, they aren't running long enough to see the GC kick in. I suspect the overhead of GC will be significant without tuning.
