Daniel Edelson remarked on the relative performance of automated vs. manual
storage reclamation.  He specifically mentioned destruction of a Tree data
structure.

Those interested in seeing a specfici example might want to examine Section 7.4

of overloading operators new and delete for tuning management of parse tree 
nodes.
