I was always wondering, how do you get your time in GC that high? I think my counter is broken, it shows 0.004%, all the time, even under somewhat high load.

*shrug* works for me :)

Seriously, many people use this counter regularly. And I'd love to see us at 0.004% but I think that's a wee bit to low to expect at this point.

Try the machine-wide counters for comparison and if that doesn't help you to see what's going on perhaps opening an issue with PSS is the way to go.

Generally speaking, I am well equipped to offer guidance and usage suggestions and even comment on particular patterns and practices but I'm totally the wrong person to troubleshoot a particular problem like you're having.

I really want our customers to get quality service on whatever their particular problem is (or better yet, not have the problem in the first place). In this case, I'm not quality service :)

Heh, mine was more of a rhetoretical question, I've spent a lot of time reading articles like yours to understand how to write a well performing app. I just didn't expect that counter to be THAT low :)

Give me a few versions, we're working on it :)
