Sorry, I meant, "The number of regions is bounded by the number of stack roots. This is typically much greater than 1."

Obviously some of those stack roots could be merged at some point, but that need not be the case.

By my read, this means tenured heap state (for a thread) all ends up in one big region (because for it to stay alive something long lived has to point to it), yet this is exactly the place where cycles typically cause trouble.

The number of regions equal the number of active roots on the stack. This is typically much greater than 1.
