I'd love to see how Go's GC performs when running an application similar to Cassandra, on multiple cores, with gigabytes of memory allocated.

Go's GC is non-moving, incremental and single-generation. Hotspot GCs are all moving collectors so they make different tradeoffs. IBM's metronome collector would be the closest one to Go's properties.

This is a thing others have already done, although I don't have citations to hand.
