You are always going to have some kind of latency spike with a sweeping GC; even if that spike is tiny.

not really. if you're in a steady state (like discord was) you wouldn't see any spikes. you'd have a consistent utilization. if you start allocating heavily then you would potentially see an increase. which makes sense, you're increasing your workload, utilization needs to increase. but still not necessarily a 'spike'
