$2.(3$points$)$ Reusing PCBs of destroyed processes instead of freeing up the data structures eliminates the overhead of dynamic memory management but is likely to use more memory.

Assume the following:

The number of processes to be created and destroyed over a period of time is $10,000.$

The average number of processes coexisting at any given time is $100.$

The maximum number of processes coexisting at any given time is $600.$

Allocating and freeing a PCB take the same amount of time.
