.NET Garbage Collection (GC) Tuning

Question

Hello, I have situation when GC has not time to delete free objects, how to tune GC or may be are there best practices for tunning GC ? Thanks.

---

code reads big document into memory and processes it, so in one of method presents loop where doing process of this document. If I stopped in this loop(in debug mode) or add GC.Collect() memory less then 70 MB.

The best tuning here is to leave it alone.

But if your process is really blocking the GC all the time (it shouldn't), it could help to call GC.Collect() after some memory consuming part finishes.

But we need a lot more info here. What type of application, why (do you think) the GC has no time to do it normally?
