Slightly off-topic but not really: to achieve a stable 60 fps in Javascript, you pretty much have to avoid creating temporary objects as much as you can. For example, I found this talk both very scary and interesting, and would even say anyone who codes Javascript (or maybe even any language that has a GC) should watch it or a similar one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op52liUjvSk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op52liUjvSk ("The Joys of Static Memory Javascript", by Colt McAnlis) This is also handy: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18411275 http://stackoverflow.com/a/18411275 That sure was news to me, and I see it never addressed outside of games. Which is understandably in a way, but I really think there should be awareness, so that it can be an actual choice to let the GC do it, and not just the only way we know how.
