# Gen 0 Collections increase

[Geert Depickere]

Hi all,

I am using PerfMon to examine the behaviour of a c# application. I noticed
that the counter "# Gen 0 collections" increases steadily (Minimum = 248,
Maximum = 3324, average 2470 and slowly rising).

Gen 1 collections (Minimum = 42, Maximum = 1109, average 814, also rising)

Gen 2 collections (Minimum = 2, Maximum = 55, average = 35)

% time in GC = 1.4 % average

Could anyone explain to me what the increasing values of # of Gen 0/1
collections means ?

Thanks

I should have read the description of de perf. counters more carefully...
The increase is normal as this counters indicates the # of collections since
the start of the application...
