Withholding Dram
When you're meticulously allocating memory in chunks, keeping safety buffers, and forcing page faults to prevent the garbage collector from reclaiming your precious bytes, you're basically hoarding RAM like a dragon sitting on gold. The code literally keeps references to allocated blocks just so the GC can't touch them—peak possessive behavior. The meme format is chef's kiss here because DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) is the actual physical RAM, and this code is absolutely withholding it from the system. It's allocating memory, holding onto it with an iron grip, and the cloud providers watching your EC2 instance consume resources are definitely giving you this exact look. You're paying by the GB-hour, buddy—maybe let some of that memory go? The time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond) with the comment "yield slightly to keep the CPU responsive" is the cherry on top. Nothing says "I'm definitely doing something questionable" quite like artificially slowing down your memory-hogging loop so the OS doesn't completely hate you.
