I am convinced that GC can cause issues with object lifetimes and pauses (at least without a pauseless GC).

Like sanjoy points out though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9856234 RC could involve atomic increment/decrement. I haven't seen any macro benchmarks about ARC performance vs manual memory management and/or GC.

I've seen anecdotes like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12527286/are-there-any-co... or microbenchmarks (from the same page) but nothing at a larger scale.
