Subject: Suggestions for tuning GC performance?

Date: 2000-6-14 20:55

In an application we are building, several global GC's occur at an 
inconvenient time, e.g., while the user is waiting for something to 
happen.   What are the appropriate parameters to tune to (a) ramp up the 
total space available, and (b) make global GC's less frequent, by doing 
more growth when each one occurs?  I've looked over the documentation and 
wasn't able to figure this out from what was there, but of course I could 
have overlooked something.  Thanks in advance for any insights you can share.
