I'm sure you are. That's what you do. You need to reason through things and try to see the bigger picture. It's all about cost. I'm costing a little more GC work for faster packet handling. I'm saying a real coder evaluates it. They don't just spit up information.

Character Spawn packet.
Length is 160 + Name.Length
Spawn[155] = 1;
Spawn[156] = (byte)_Name.Length;
WriteString(_Name, 157, Spawn);
Then you are a real coder?

Yes. I would consider myself to be a real coder, whether I enjoy it or not.

As I see lately, there is a thread for GC only, so you all argue on nothing because either you do this or not, GC will still do his job on a thread. It has enough time to dispose anything that needs to be disposed.

Cleaned.

In some cases if your doing alot of cleanup the GC can make mistakes and fail to completely cleanup objects, resulting in less available memory for the app. This has been well documented. So anything you can do to make the GC's life easier is beneficial to you really. Although obviously performance is more critical in most cases, just keep it in mind.
