Abstract
Apparent performance delays in a computer application are reduced by scheduling garbage collection during periods when a user cannot modify program data within the application. Garbage collection may be initiated in response to detecting a user interface event that prevents user modification of program data being processed by the computer application. Systems and methods herein reduce the appearance of performance delays associated with garbage collection.
