Hi, I was looking at a video that talks about GC pauses. That got me curious about the current state of GC in Haskell - say ghc 7.4.1. Would it suffer from lengthy pauses when we talk about memory in the range of 500M +? What would be a good way to keep abreast with the progress on haskell GC? Regards, Kashyap

Have you read the latest GHC manual pages?[1] It has a list of options, suggestions, gotchas, etc. I haven't read the GHC specific mailing lists, but cvs-ghc sounds like where you might get real-time updates. [1]( http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/runtime-control.html... )
