[android-developers] Re: inefficient garbage with large heap = true

Maybe you can use native code and use malloc and free?

I have an app with large heap set, running on a galaxy S3 GT-I9300, with android version 4.1.1

The app needs to allocate a lot of temporary objects intermittently. 

It runs very slowly because a lot of GC (and waiting for concurrent GC). 

The heap never grows beyond 25 MB, as I would have expected in order to limit GC activity.

With a larger heap, I would expect there won't be no perceptible GC. 

I wonder if there would be other settings to configure garbage collection ?

Thanks.
