Question: does anyone run "Server GC" for the ASP.NET applications?

There is bunch of people copy pasting documentation to SO "explaining" server GC. I am running bunch of .NET stuff in VMs and never set "Server GC" and never ran into issues with default but also not sure if it is worth testing out.

I guess it does not matter much if you are running in containers but I am running on VMs in IIS.

When I play around with changing various GCs for Java (via Clojure), then I always setup benchmarks measuring what kind of thing I want to improve, run all GCs via that benchmark to chose which to use for that service/project and call it a day. There is a lot of theorizing and navel-gazing around GCs it seems to me, and in the end it is the results that count so setup some way to measure, find the differences then move on from there :)
