The GC in .NET has evolved more and more facilities to "configure" and

"tune" it, which again raises the question in my mind... if GC is

supposed

to be this great, automated memory management system, why does it need

so

much tweaking and tuning?







In typical use, it doesn't need any tweaking.  I suspect that there are some memory usage patterns it doesn't perform so well on, and in those cases you tune it.  In extreme cases, you use something else :).



In the same vein, if my wife's automatic gearbox is so good, why does it have a sports and economy setting?
