   Writing High Performance .NET Code (https://www.writinghighperf.net/) has a chapter on this. In C#, time spent collecting depends on the number of still-living objects. That means you want objects you allocate to be short-lived (dead by the time GC happens) or to live forever (they go to the gen 2 heap and stay there). The book suggests object pooling when the lifetime of objects is between those two extremes, or when objects are big enough for the Large Object Heap.

   But at the end of the section, the book says:

     I do not usually run to pooling as a default solution. As a general-purpose mechanism, it is clunky and error-prone. However, you may find that your application will benefit from pooling of just a few types.
   

   What kind of things do you pool in Unity?

   I've been using C# and .NET for about 18 months. Here are some of the books and other materials that I have found helpful.

   Framework Design Guidelines - how to design libraries that anyone from Jon Skeet to Mort can use successfully. The focus is on library design but I have found it valuable for day to day coding.

   Effective C# - how to implement the usual idioms properly.

   CLR via C# - this is a dry read but has answers to many questions I would have never thought to ask.

   C# in Depth - excellent coverage of language features from C#1 to C#5.

   Writing High Performance .NET Code - the title says it all

   Pluralsight courses:

   https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/csharp-applying-... - excellent coverage of the functional core/imperative shell approach to program design. If you know Haskell you can probably skip this.

   https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/csharp-design-st... - Jon Skeet implements the GoF patterns.

   Visual Studio addins:

   ReSharper - the diagnostics are quite valuable

   SpecFlow - support for the Gherkin DSL for BDD testing.

   Tools:

   PerfView
