Summary
top
Here is a little cookbook for people using very small computers. We suppose here that the goal is to save memory.
Note: to see how many times the garbage collector is triggered, keep in mind that you can use the -gc_info flag as in: 
   compile -gc_info -boost example1
Also note that you can run this example under the debugger: 
   compile -gc_info -sedb -no_check example1
