Back in 2005-2006 we ran into significant issues with the GC and pinned memory related to Windows sockets when building a networked server for XMPP. I believe the GC has improved since then for that scenario, but it was a big surprise when it happened. It was a classic case of a leaky abstraction.

I was still in high school when I read that post. Thanks for writing it. Buffer pooling is still incredibly relevant in .Net (as it is in many languages).

Along these same lines, Microsoft.IO.RecyclableMemoryStream is also useful.
