Subject: Inline C and Memory

So the more objects you store in ruby the longer mark and sweep takes
for GC because there are more objects to iterate over.  Makes sense.

If you have a machine with 8 gigs of RAM and want to fill up all the
memory to take advantage of it, can you will Ruby and Inline C?

So, the example Inline C looks like:

require 'rubygems'
require 'inline'

class Example
inline(:C) do |builder|
builder.c "int method_test1() {
int x = 10;
return x;
}"
end
end

p Example.new.method_test1

But would it be possible inside method_test1 to do complex memory
allocation and use all 8 gigs of RAM without all the ruby marking and
sweeping?

Thanks.
