Difference between background and concurrent garbage collection?
- by marco.ragogna
I read that with .NET Framework 4 the current garbage collection implementation is replaced:
The .NET Framework 4 provides
background garbage collection. This
feature replaces concurrent garbage
collection in previous versions and
provides better performance.
At this page there is an explanation how it works but I am not sure I understood it.
In practical world application what is the benefit of this new GC implementation? Is it a feature that could be use to push for a transition from 3.5 or previous to 4.0?
