In this video I explain Object Pooling and show a demo measuring the memory usage and FPS compared to simply creating and destroying objects. The performance...
Object pooling is an absolute necessity for performance in modern environments that remove all manual memory management in favour of automatic garbage collection. And it’s still good practice to reuse memory when you do have some manual control.
Not many things will slow your program down (or make a garbage collector blow up) as effectively as alternately freeing and requesting tiny chunks of memory from the OS thousands of times a second.
