Garbage collection introduces unpredictable pauses (Stop-the-World) and additional memory and CPU overhead, which is often unacceptable in real-time systems or latency-sensitive services.

UnverifiedAfter NVMe SSDs became fast enough to respond at the microsecond level, the storage industry adopted polling instead of interrupts, having the CPU actively and frequently check the completion queue, sacrificing idle-time energy efficiency for determinism and throughput at low latency.68% similarUnverifiedExtending CPU memory as a KV Cache overflow area is a common engineering technique; the trade-off is increased access latency, and it is suitable for batch processing scenarios that have high throughput requirements but are not sensitive to single-request latency.66% similarUnverifiedFrequent or large memory allocations trigger garbage collection (GC), and in lightweight environments this overhead is amplified manifold.66% similarUnverifiedOn a 1 vCPU / 2 GB instance, not explicitly calling gc.collect() may cause Python's cyclic-reference garbage collection to lag, with peak memory exceeding 2 GB and being terminated by the OOM Killer.66% similar
