[Mono-dev] question: huge amounts of RAM

[Daniel Kirstenpfad]

Well actually we're about to introduce some changes into our import
functionality which will be as cautious as possible to not create
intermediate objects but only objects that stay. So mainly it will be a
growing operation regarding the number of object instances.

We already looked into the data structures we use and that those don't
impose a limit of Int32 to us when growing. Which of the two garbage
collectors would be best in your opinion? Would someone of the Mono-dev team
want to come and test with us?

.

Do you care about the length of GC pause times?  I mean the absolute length,
not the relative amount of time the GC consumes.  (If your programs do
anything but batch processing then you probably do).
