 ## Minimize large object allocations
 
-The [.NET Core garbage collector](/dotnet/standard/garbage-collection/) manages allocation and release of memory automatically in ASP.NET Core apps. Automatic garbage collection generally means that developers don't need to worry about how or when memory is freed. However, cleaning up unreferenced objects takes CPU time, so developers should minimize allocating objects in [hot code paths](#understand-hot-code-paths). Garbage collection is especially expensive on large objects (>= 85,000 bytes). Large objects are stored on the [large object heap](/dotnet/standard/garbage-collection/large-object-heap) and require a full (generation 2) garbage collection to clean up. Unlike generation 0 and generation 1 collections, a generation 2 collection requires a temporary suspension of app execution. Frequent allocation and de-allocation of large objects can cause inconsistent performance.
