I'm not particularly knowledgeable about either game development or advanced garbage collection technologies, so forgive me if this is a stupid idea. That said, would reference counting (or rather, a combination of reference counting plus some sort of GC or cycle detection algorithm) be a possible way forward here? It seems like the reference counting would be able to release many objects immediately after they become unreachable. The "normal" GC would then have a lot less to do, helping achieve shorter pauses. (AFAIK no such thing actually exists for the JVM, this is just an idle thought.) -- John Mastro -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
