This can be disabled with the [GODEBUG setting](/doc/godebug) `decoratemappings=0`. + +<!-- go.dev/issue/73581 --> + +A new experimental garbage collector is now available as an experiment. The +new design aims to improve the efficiency of garbage collection through better +locality and CPU scalability in the mark algorithm. Benchmark result vary, but +we expect somewhere between a 10—40% reduction in garbage collection overhead +in real-world programs that heavily use the garbage collector. + +The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting `GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc` +at build time.
