Hi Armin, Maciej

Thanks for responding.

I'm in the process of trying to determine what (if any) of the code I'm in a position to share, and I'll get back to you.

Allowing hinting to the GC would be good. Even better would be a means to allow me to (transparently) allocate objects in unmanaged memory, but I would expect that to be a tall order :)

Thanks,

/Martin

I think the request is not very clear. We do have a machine with
100GB of RAM, so that part should not be a problem. The question of
Maciej can probably be rephrased as: can you give us a reproducible
example? Even if the large pauses appear to occur on any example you
try (which they shouldn't), please give us one such example.

Also, maybe we should have anyway a way to give the GC a hint: "now is
a good time to run if you need to".

A bientôt,

Armin.
