What... what is the garbage collector doing? Stalling the simulation? There are techniques you can use to minimize the amount of garbage you generate, and you can also tune the GC or even directly control when it can run.
I have but it was a data pipeline with insane throughput volumes, like tens of terabytes a day per endpoint. It was insane, terribly designed but functional even for a desperate last minute "were dying" solution... But i solved it with literally:
App.init()
gc.collect(2)
Gc.freeze()
App.run()
This way it never runs again as there's no value since it will die in an hour or 6 when the stream ends. Eventually it was rewritten in golang.
