When working with images that (necessarily) have a size of a few GBs, I frequently note interruptions during full GCs that can take 30 seconds or longer. resmon confirms that there is a high number of hard page faults during these GCs, as my overall RAM consumption is often >90% and most of the time >50% of memory of Squeak.exe is swapped out to my SSD.
If somebody felt like investing efforts in making the GC more swap-friendly, this would be highly welcome from my side. For example: https://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/f034-hertz.pdf (I do not pretend to have read this paper.)
