<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>I have a question to experienced erlang developers/designers. Have you ever used or felt the need of using erlang:garbage_collect()? Or erlang's default garbage collection is good enough for all situations?</div><div>Erlang man page says that -"This function forces an immediate garbage collection of the currently executing process.
The function should not be used, unless it has been noticed -- or there are good
reasons to suspect -- that the spontaneous garbage collection will occur too
late or not at all. Improper use may seriously degrade system performance."</div>
<div>Does using this seriously degrade system performance? Any one has experience of using this?</div><div>Thanks.</div></div>
