Should GGC have a major impact on overall execution time? Or is it more about reducing "jank", or whatever they're calling it these days?

- sphink 12y agoIt has some impact on overall execution time (throughput), mostly through being able to bump allocate. The benchmark I used in the article shows a large gain, though the real-world effect is much less. But GGC is mostly about reducing pause times (latency). (And yes, people have taken to calling that "jank". I still resist the term when I can, since it's no more precise than anything that came before but people seem to think it must mean something specific.)
