Sounds good.

The reason I am reporting this is to give some real-world feedback.

I use the 21.5 series a lot, in fact, almost exclusively.

You should be aware that some testers may be turned away by the
current memory usage.

It is not a problem for me at them moment.

Perhaps the gc -threshold and -percentage variable default values need
a review?

Are there any docs where I can read up on NEW_GC and MC_ALLOC and KKCC?

Keep up the good work!
