- In scenarios with both high numbers of assemblies and high numbers of GC heaps, Server GC can encounter serious lock contention during generation 2 GCs. A config switch has been introduced as a workaround. It can either be enabled from a .config file: <configuration> <runtime> <GCStaticsNoLock enabled="true"/> </runtime> </configuration> Or by setting environment variable COMPLUS_GCStaticsNoLockto a non-zero value. If the config switch is not enabled, behavior is unchanged compared to previous versions. |
