ZGC – What's new in JDK 16
This might be an odd question but how often does garbage collection run and whats the usual time taken over a period of time?<p>Say I'm doing a drawing/game app and creating a few hundred heap objects a second that need to get garbage collected.<p>I have no idea on how often GC is run on a typical app and how much real time it takes over say an hour of an semi complex app running on average. It obviously depends on the app but I do not even have a number average cost of a GC language for some typical web app.<p>I only know 'GC's are bad' because the 100s of HackerNews comments dismissing languages because they have a GC for some reason rather than hard examples of them eating up time.
