[Mono-dev] gc

[Andrea Francesco Iuorio]

If I remember correctly (so wait for someone that can be more precise), except for some debug support, the only real difference between the two implementation is the worker implementation. Nothing that can really justify this difference, if we can assume that you use the same collector and the same version. A so big difference only in the major collections seems to be the difference between the parallel and the serial collector. Maybe in your windows machine you utilise the parallel collector as default ? Can you post more —stats details (the majors data in the GC part can help us to see where is the problem) ?
