We cover the disadvantage of generational garbage collection for large long-lived objects (multiple expensive memory copies during migration), and present the solution: the Large Object Heap, which skips compaction and is collected at gen-2 frequency. The lesson explains the 85 KB size threshold for large objects and the collection-frequency schedule across all heap regions."
