<p>The EGC (Emergency Garbage Collector) patch was originally written for Lua by Robert Jakabosky, who was kind enough to port it to <b>eLua</b>. You can find the author's detailed
description of the patch <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/EmergencyGarbageCollector">here</a>. In short, what it does is that it lets you run a garbage collection cycle in Lua in a low memory
situation, from inside Lua's memory allocation function (something that the current version of Lua can't do out of the box). By forcing a garbage collection cycle, Lua can reclaim memory that's
not in use anymore, thus making more memory available for your program. The downside is reduced execution speed, as a direct result of running the gargabe collector when needed. For some
not in use any more, thus making more memory available for your program. The downside is reduced execution speed, as a direct result of running the garbage collector when needed. For some
applications, reducing the execution speed to fit the application in memory might be acceptable, and for other applications it might not. As usual, it all depends on your application. As a generic
guideline, if your application isn't concerned with realtime processing, you should be fine with sacrifing execution speed to get more memory in many real life scenarios.</p>

<p>In <b>eLua</b>, the EGC patch can be configured to run in 4 different modes:</p>

<li><b>disabled</b>: EGC inactive, no collection cycle will be forced in low memory situations.</li>
