You're right of course.I was thinking about single-thread applications, where once my (memory-intensive) task gets control, it won't release it until it ends. But if this won't always work, then there's little point in trying to save and restore GC parameters.
BTW: Shmuel, the time/timezone on your desktop is still wrong. :-)
I've noticed that timestamps of my posts are offset (after we changed several days ago to summer daylight saving time). I just didn't know it required some actions from my part other than adjusting the computer clock. Should I now manually correct my timezone from GMT+02:00 to GMT+03:00 ?
