Benefits and drawbacks of the Object Pool pattern

These are some of the benefits of the Object Pool pattern:

• Predictable memory usage: With the Object Pool, we can allocate in a predictable manner some memory to hold a specific amount of instances of certain type of object.
• Performance boost: By having objects already initialized in memory, you avoid the loading cost of initializing new ones.

These are some potential drawbacks of the Object Pool pattern:

• Layering on already managed memory: Some people criticize the Object Pool pattern as being unnecessary in most cases because modern managed programming languages such as C# already optimally control memory allocation. However, this statement might be true in some contexts but false in others.
• Unpredictable object states: A potential pitfall of the Object Pool pattern is that if it is incorrectly handled, objects can be returned to the pool in their current state instead of their initial one. This situation can be an issue...
