Subject: Garbage collection outside of request cycle?
Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 16:29:40 -0400
Message-ID: <0BFC98E9-072B-47EE-9A70-05478C20141B@lukemelia.com> (raw)

I've been analyzing our Unicorn-powered Rails app's performance, and have found that garbage collection is a big factor in slow requests.

In the interest of avoiding those performance hits while handling requests, would it be possible to have a unicorn worker run garbage collection after handling a request and before waiting for the next one? Would this be a good idea?

Cheers,
Luke
