Record storage requires memory. Executed programs (or evaluated expressions) may ruin very quickly the memory management strategies of the application when operating records.
Applications using record library objects would limit memory allocation or risk memory exhaustion.
Programs operating large and / or many records referring one another may experience performance degradation related to automatic object management. Record operations commanding tests on whether record objects need dismantling (freeing, collecting, that is) are likely to be slow if the tested objects are part of large sets of objects referring one another.
See Referable Objects.
See Detecting Cycles.
With memory allocation limited the record library objects usage does not present significant security challenges.
