Today I found a case will cause mono spent very large memory,
basically is define a local int variable "xxx" and call "xxx = int.Parse(xxx.ToString()) + 1;" about 3000 times.

Full code:
c#: http://pastebin.com/a5V3BZJH
python: http://pastebin.com/zKeiYgZ3

Result on my machine:
mono use time (exclude sleep time): 3.57
python use time (exclude sleep time): 0.57
mono use memory: 258.0mb
python use memory: 5.2mb

Mono version:
Mono JIT compiler version 3.2.8 (tarball Sat Mar 22 17:23:10 UTC 2014)

I known python use reference count so it will free the object every times after the object actually not used without waiting collect.
But I don't known how mono work for this, It's a bug or specification?
