The bit that caught my eye was results of simulation using real Java programs: *it’s been proven that the runtime performance of the best-performing garbage collector is competitive with explicit memory management when given enough memory. In particular, when garbage collection has five times as much memory as required, its runtime performance matches or slightly exceeds that of explicit memory management.* *However, garbage collection’s performance degrades substantially when it must use smaller heaps. With three times as much memory, it runs 17% slower on average, and with twice as much memory, it runs 70% slower.* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
