enum System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode
Assembly: System.Runtime
Adjusts the time that the garbage collector intrudes in your application.
Values
Batch
Disables garbage collection concurrency and reclaims objects in a batch call. This is the most intrusive mode. This mode is designed for maximum throughput at the expense of responsiveness.
Interactive
Enables garbage collection concurrency and reclaims objects while the application is running. This is the default mode for garbage collection on a workstation and is less intrusive than <see cref="F:System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode.Batch" /> . It balances responsiveness with throughput. This mode is equivalent to garbage collection on a workstation that is concurrent.
LowLatency
Enables garbage collection that is more conservative in reclaiming objects. Full collections occur only if the system is under memory pressure, whereas generation 0 and generation 1 collections might occur more frequently. This mode is not available for the server garbage collector.
SustainedLowLatency
Enables garbage collection that tries to minimize latency over an extended period. The collector tries to perform only generation 0, generation 1, and concurrent generation 2 collections. Full blocking collections may still occur if the system is under memory pressure.
NoGCRegion
Indicates that garbage collection is suspended while the app is executing a critical path.
<see cref="F:System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode.NoGCRegion" /> is a read-only value; that is, you cannot assign the <see cref="F:System.Runtime.GCLatencyMode.NoGCRegion" /> value to the <see cref="P:System.Runtime.GCSettings.LatencyMode" /> property. You specify the no GC region latency mode by calling the <see cref="Overload:System.GC.TryStartNoGCRegion" /> method and terminate it by calling the <see cref="M:System.GC.EndNoGCRegion" /> method.
