We review the two key object profiles of the garbage collector: short-lived small objects and long-lived large objects, chart a graph of object size versus lifetime, and highlight two 'red zones' where undesired GC pauses can inflate total runtime. The lesson includes a discussion of .NET's real-time data processing limitations and practical workarounds.
