Hi Everybody,
After all the organizational discussions I'd like to start a deeply
technical one :)
Testing my C# Pocket PC app I noticed that sometimes it hangs for a few
seconds and then continue. I can explain if it's happening during a big form
loading, but just in the middle of working with current form 8(
If it's the garbage collector taking CPU cycles ..., I thought it runs on
lower priority thread unless I'm running out of memory, which seems to be
impossible in my case: 300kb app in 40mb+ of free RAM (so I'm always having
32mb slot in my disposal).
What could it be?
Of course there is a possibility of connected hardware issues, but I'm not
sure.
The app is heavily multithreaded. The reasons: UI responsiveness, monitoring
socket timeouts, 3rd party component create events on separate threads. So I
can't get rid of them, even in part.
Could GC get equal or higher priority for thread disposing?
I noticed similar behavior in Java on embedded Linux device. That enforced
my suspicion about GC.
Does anybody deliberately run GC? When?
Any opinions?
Andrei
