On: Go 1.4+ Garbage Collection Plan and Roadmap

"Quantitatively this means that for adequately provisioned machines limiting GC latency to less than 10 milliseconds (10ms), with mutator (Go application code) availability of more than 40 ms out of every 50 ms" --- once they get there, they should try to make those targets customizable, with default values being 10ms/50ms. That'd be marvellous.

Those numbers are also for a current average $1k computer; a faster computer would naturally lower those numbers.

While a more expensive computer may also be doing more memory allocations. :-)
