This is not true. The garbage collector must figure out which objects
can be collected. This is not work that would have to be done without
a garbage collector.
In non-GC, explicit retain/autorelease/release calls have to be made
that are not needed in GC. Only the actual returning of the memory to
the system is the same both with and without GC.
That said, it sounds like GC is not the OP's issue at all.
