Serialization - Dealing with the Out of memory exception (Workaround) - Barret - Jan 27, 2017
For those that are playing around with the serialization features i want to give a small suggestion slash workaround trick,
you might hit your head on the 'Out of memory' exception whilst saving or loading up a big (200mb or bigger) serialized object.
Two things to overcome this:
Option 1. Change the target CPU to 64bits

Option 2. GC.Collect
Implement a method that would call the 'GC.Collect' after a several 'n' amount of iterations.
I do strongly suggest you don't spam the 'GC.Collect', ive been reading that this operation is heavy on performance.
Alright, take care. :)

GC.Collect should be used very sparingly, as it blocks the main thread and hinders performance.
Here's a nice write up:

True, but lets assume you rarely use serialized xml or objects above 500mb or even above the 1gb. I don't see why you would use it in the first place. But if you must, then these are your options.
