People miss that there is a quantitative aspect to these things as well as a qualitative aspect. That is, many programs allocate millions of pieces of memory a second and for a wide range of different purposes whereas there might be a limited number of other resources of an even more limited set of types. Any change in the code probably has some affect on memory allocation, but many changes won't have any effect on allocation of higher-level resources. Thus the complexity of handling memory is greater than that of other resources and the consequences of getting it not 100% right are frequently worse. |
