I did a little research yesterday. In the Boehm GC that's just a call to turn on incremental garbage collection. In this mode, it doesn't "stop the world" to collect. We can also make big, infrequently changed objects "stubborn", which makes it faster. For the curious, this paper had some measurements of the Boehm GC, and it doesn't seem at all bad: http://mprc.pku.edu.cn/~guanxuetao/publications/2003-JHIT-GXT.pdf Tom Breton (Tehom) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
