I'm a little bit worried about the asynchronous nature of the GC and its nondeterministic time. Searching in the manual, I found the section 5.7.4.2 about performance constraints, which is empty unfortunately. Thus, does anyone had similar experiences in the past? Are my worries even valids? -- Olivier Dion PolyMtl
