[Mono-devel-list] Limit Garbage Collection

[Andreas Nahr]

As long as you don't do any "stupid" things a gen0 garbage collection is far
faster than what you need for a game (MUCH shorter than 20ms)
In fact there are at least two commercial games out there that are based on
.net and none of them has issues getting 100++ fps.
Also tons of 3d apps exist and none of them have any perf-issues related to
GCing, so dont worry about the GC.
