Out of curiosity, does anyone know why the sgen garbage collector isn't the default option in mono? Is it still considered too beta?
I ask because I recently looked at some "language"" shootout (http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/csharp.php) and was very surprised to see that mono/C# was often much slower than Java. I examined the test with the biggest difference (Binary trees, which creates/destroys a lot of objects), and noticed that the large difference between Java/C# basically disappears when sgen is used as an option. In my limited experience I always have found this option to be a performance win, so would be interested to know why it isn't the default.
