I think you'll find that long pauses are reduced, but
Tried it with 50 GC observations with and without PLT_INCREMENTAL_GC. Without the environment variable, I had two major GCs of 1052ms and 1060ms and an average minor GC of 24ms. With the environment variable set, I had one major GC of 488 ms and an average minor GC or 45ms. It was definitely less jerky from a user standpoint. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
