After removal of memory_ballast extension in v0.97.0, the Go garbage collection is running more aggressively, which increased CPU usage and leads to reduced throughput of the collector. This change reduces the frequency of garbage collection cycles to improves performance of the collector for typical workloads. As a result, the collector will report higher memory usage, but it will be bound to the same configured limits. If you want to revert to the previous behavior, set the `GOGC` environment variable to `100`.
