Thanks for the feedback Ben, I updated the use notifications section with a pointer to the open issue.
Re: GC switches that didn't get much love in the article - if I didn't understand why you'd want to toggle it, then I didn't say anything about it. For example, why turn off the collect_maps option? Or incremental_marking_steps (I'm probably not understanding that term - wouldn't incremental marking without steps be non-incremental marking?). So basically, if there were any situations that you'd encountered where it had been useful to turn one of these off, then that's definitely something I'd want to capture. Otherwise, I figured I'd just list them for completion's sake. Other ones were: --lazy_sweeping --flush_code --cleanup_code_caches_at_gc On Friday, November 2, 2012 8:55:15 PM UTC-4, Ben Noordhuis wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 6:13 PM, Joel Rolfe <[email protected] <javascript:>> > wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > Relatively new to node (about a month under the belt), from a > > java/relational stack background.
