The most important Zing feature for LMAX Exchange is the C4 garbage collector. C4 effectively does continuous garbage collection and for LMAXExchange that means less latency jitter. Latency is a big deal for us and while low latency is important, predictable latency is also a requirement for our customers. Zing doesn't need to force periodic safepoints during normal operation, so assuming that you don't have any other sources of jitter in your program, you'll get a flatter latency profile with out-of-the-box behaviour.
