Howeever, Java allocates new memory blocks on it's internal heap
(which is allocated in huge chunks from the OS). In this way, in most
of the cases it bypasses memory allocation mechanisms of the
underlying OS and is very fast. In C++, each "new" allocation request
will be sent to the operating system, which is slow.
