The Mono Generational GC (a.k.a. SGEN) has been in the works for quite some time now. Given the no-hassle way to use it these days, I decided to compare the performance of both garbage collectors.

The test itself is very simple. I used xsp listening on port 8080 and hit empty.ashx, which is an IHttpHandler that serves a 0-length web page. In both cases, Boehm and SGEN, I warmed up the server by hitting it once and then ran the following command:
