That is no problem, if node life cycle is known a custom pool deploying 
a FIFO arena in some chunk of memory is used.

One should avoid controlled object because killing the arena would not 
do any finalization.

This technique is used in compilers which need a lot of dynamic memory 
but always know when to free allocated objects.
