Limits of Manual Garbage Collection in APL for Low‑Traffic Workloads
Goal: reduce background CPU usage by controlling garbage collection through documented mechanisms such as Dyalog APL’s ⎕WA (workspace available) and ⎕FC (force collection) functions, or GNU APL’s `-gc` command‑line flag and `APL_GCC` environment variable, which let an application lower the frequency of automatic collections during idle periods.
