Can I trust the garbage collector?

In my application I send and receive data packets using the serial port.
Each packet is an instance of a Packet class.
Under certain conditions, the application will be creating hundreads of
packets per second. I have a few designs in mind:

1) Trusting the GC: Each packet received or that I want to send is just an
instance of my Packet class. I create the object, do what I have to do with
the packet and just forget about it. (I come from Delphi... so I'm still
"trained" to free things after I use them)

2) Shift my design and instead of having a Packet class, I'll have a
PacketManager class that will handle incoming and outgoing data. I don't
like this solution very much because it doesn't capture the abstraction of
what a packet is very well, but I guess I'd be ok using it.

3) Using some kind of forced disposal of Packets
What do you think?

Cheers

Padu
