Incremental GC is excellent. I am a big fan of incremental GC for multi-threaded applications. But stop-world GC? In a real-time video game that means a potential pause in the action, right? I don't know very much about GC in video games. Do you know of any video games that use stop-world instead of incremental GC? -Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
