Just wondering if enabling verbose GC would have any effect on the performance of an application.
My guess is no not really.
I know that enabling verbose GC can output a fair bit data and was wondering is this realistically going to have any effect on performance?
Anything that outputs to file/console will incur some I/O overhead. Tacking an extra couple ms latency onto every garbage collection event certainly could have some effect on performance.
Realistically speaking though, your application would have to be going through a lot of them and be under quite some load before you’d notice. It’s very hard to tell without testing.
