May I ask for how many out of those 124 you had payed?

Need to go native "to take advantage" is not true. Software on older Sony models also followed VM paradigm. Idea is, that you implement memory/CPU intensive basic functions in native code, then do the rest using language with automatic memory management. (garbage collector)

It's a common pattern, actually, followed by many, for instance, by World of Warcraft.

Going native makes sense if system doesn't provide performant version of needed operation out of the box. But if anything, it makes mem leaks / crashes more likely.
