It is also possible to avoid GC pauses causing problems in your application with a load balancer. Basically shifting load between haskell processes when a big GC is imminent.

Read about that technique from Simon Marlow of Facebook's Haskell team. Of course it would be awesome to not have to worry about that.

Nice -- this technique never came up when I searched /r/haskell for GC pause workarounds. And yes -- it would be awesome not to have to worry about this.
