[DGD] What are lightweight objects good for?

[Robert Forshaw]

I have read about lightweight objects and understand what they do, but I 
don't see how they are useful. Do they use less memory? I take it that's 
what the 'lightweight' is about. Where would I want to use a lightweight 
object rather than a regular object?
