Now, when you think about memory management and making our code more memory efficient or
0:06
understanding how the garbage collector and reference counting works, you might think this is to make our code use less memory. To make the memory
0:13
required smaller. But it also will have a side effect. It will make our code faster.

Our code Python will have to do less garbage collection events, potentially is using less memory so less swap space, maybe better cache management,
0:29
but also just some of the design patterns and some of the aspects of Python that
0:33
are not frequently used but we're gonna bring into it will actually make our code quite a bit faster for some really interesting use cases.

this is sort of a general performance thing with a concentrated focus on memory.
