BTW, this is the reason for GC.AddMemoryPressure() and
GC.RemoveMemoryPressure() in .NET 2. You have to tell the GC in your
constructor / reallocate / finalize methods.

and even if the GC did know how big they are it
doesn't understand that there are seperate memory resource pools.

Also
calling GC::Collect() doesn't seem to be cleaning them up either.

I'm not sure exactly what this refers to: do you mean that your objects
are being kept alive from somewhere? Or does it mean that you haven't
implemented finalization on your objects properly?

FWIW, manual resource management hasn't gone away. When the resource
isn't managed memory, you've still got to do it yourself, using
IDisposable, 'using', C++/CLI & smart pointers & RAII, etc. To get good
performance in a number of scenarios I've found it necessary to reinvent
the memory allocator etc. YMMV.
