One of the most attractive aspects of copying garbage collectors is that collecting garbage actually costs nothing since only live data objects are identified and moved. Assuming that the total amount of heap space live at any point is constant, show that the average cost of garbage collection (per heap object allocated) can be made arbitrarily cheap by simply by increasing the memory size allocated to the heap.
