GC.Collect() in Aspose.Pdf.Kit

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We have noticed that Aspose.Pdf.Kit calls GC.Collect() in several places. The most important calls for us are in PdfConverter and PdfFileEditor. We use Aspose.Pdf.Kit in a server application and GC.Collect has a negative impact on performance due to GC.Collect() stopping execution to walk the garbage collection stack.

In Aspose.Pdf.Kit version 5.1.0.0 we are seeing 30 calls to GC.Collect(). Could these calls be removed? The Gen 2 collections happen every 100 seconds, more frequently if the collection experiences a high amount of volatility. This should be frequent enough for most .Net applications.

This is the same issue reported in <a href=" for Aspose.Pdf.

Hi Shahzad,

Thank you for replying to my post and the update; I am glad to read your team is working on the issue.

I am using the library in a server and, as I'm sure you're team is already aware, calling GC.Collect() is a very expensive due to the process being stopped while .NET reorganizes memory.

Thank you for all your efforts in constantly improving Aspose's PDF.Kit.NET.

Robert
