Yes, that&#x27;s true, but this GC lets you get more throughput by using more memory, so you can still decide how you want to make that trade-off. But no amount of knobs can save you from a long stop-the-world pause, so they made absolutely the right decision, in my opinion. With multi-core server CPUs, throughput is relatively cheap to obtain. Latency is hard, you can&#x27;t just throw money at the problem.
