For each collection, all the objects in the young generation and some fraction of the old generation is collected. + In the free-threaded build, the increase in process memory usage is also + checked before running the collector. If the memory usage has not increased + by 10% since the last collection and the net number of object allocations + has not exceeded 40 times *threshold0*, the collection is not run. + The fraction of the old generation that is collected is **inversely** proportional to *threshold1*. The larger *threshold1* is, the slower objects in the old generation are collected. |
