Not really. If you manage your allocations properly, you will never have such long GC pauses.

N.B. we use Go for real-time bidding (in the context of programmatic buying of ad space), and can easily respond to 6000 QPS on a single server within a 100ms time frame (from the SSP's POV), with a working set of about 2-3 GB that we constantly keep in memory.
