[Mono-dev] large performance drop between boehm and sgen for a parallel app

[Jonathan Shore]

I am just running mono-boehm with --llvm and no additional parameters (i.e. no specialization of the GC), same for mono-sgen.   I'll try running perf on these and forward.

cheers

With mono-sgen only achieves  200 - 250% cpu.   This is on a 12 / 24 core machine.   I need to run sgen eventually because run into the 32 bit limit with boehm from time to time.
