Usecase for tracking down high % GC time (related to gen 2)
Memory profiling for .NET developers   Postby jaap.q42 » Mon Dec

with a high % GC with a relation to gen 2 collections. The gen 2
collections follow eachother quite quickly for a period of time.
Would I be able to track this issue with the ANTS memory

in GC performance counter is quite hard to read, and a high
value might not be telling you anything particularly useful.
It's only updated after a garbage collection has taken place,
and it represents the % of time spent in the most recent garbage
collection relative to t
