As an older dev who spent a lot of time with C on applications where performance and timing was key, I have found the timing of the overhead of GC hard to predict. So I tend to pre-allocate a lot of variables and structures in advance and hold them, so I don't have to worry about GC in a loop. If someone knows a good tutorial of how to predict when garbage collection will happen in my program, I would love to read it and learn more.
