Let me try to make things a little bit simpler here .... If one process allocate/deallocate memory and this triggers the system to call Garbage Collector, does this GC operation impacts other processes? This way, in a situation where you create a remote service and attach to it using a view, if this view triggers GC will the service´s performance suffer any impact?
