Cons
Con Unpredictable Black Box
If your GC is a black box that can run whenever it wants/needs to and you don't know all of what it does, it's not great for real-time high applications. The GC should be predictable, you should know when it's going to run, for how long, and what's it's going to be doing (destroying objects, freeing memory, defragmenting, etc.).
Frankly, a GC isn't entirely needed with a well designed engine/program.
Con Optimized manual memory management is more efficient and has lower peak memory usage
