I've been long on JS but never heard things like this, could you please prove it by any means or at least give a valid proof to the _around 15%_ statement? Also by saying _quick enough to not be noticeable_, what's the situation you are referring too? I thought the GC overhead will stack until it eventually affects the UI responsiveness when handling continues IO or rendering loads, as recently I have done some perf stuff for such cases and optimizing count of objects did make things better and the console definitely showed some GC improvements, you make me nerve to go back and check again.
