FIX: JScript calls the GC.Collect method from IVsaEngine.Close in Visual Studio .NET 2003

Article ID: 819792 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

When Microsoft JScript code makes a call to the IVsaEngine.Close method, the IVsaEngine.Close method calls the GC.Collect method. When this call occurs, the garbage collector must start.

If the code of a Web page calls the IVsaEngine.Close method, this behavior may affect performance because garbage collector functions will use up to 70 percent of the processing time.
