Hello everyone,


In the section "Finalization and Performance" of MSDN document,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973837.aspx

What means "Older objects needing finalization might have to wait for dozens if not hundreds of gen0 collections before their space is reclaimed."? I am especially confused about what means "wait for dozens" and "if not...", seems there are some dependencies between gen2 collection and gen0 collection?


thanks in advance,
George
