Def woudl like to take this. My understanding is that .Net themselves recommend being wary about server-gc as it can so effectively saturate the machine with work. We def want the benefits of the improvements there, but not at the expense of the host VS process. So this is a very easy way to get a best of both worlds outcome here.

Can this cause issues where, when a GC isn't happening, we might have VS starving off the "background" work the user actually wanted?

(not opposing, but just wondering if this can have "interesting" side effects to be on the lookout for)

I haven't seen this happen. What I've seen happen several times is OOP using CPU and causing severe delays in devenv.exe and/or VBCSCompiler.exe.
