Adam Wilson:
I will not defend the current GC, it is about as stupid as you can make one and still have a functioning memory management system. It implements exactly none of the optimizations recommended for Mark-Sweep GC's in the GC Handbook.
Why don't you open an enhancement request for each of those recommended optimizations (explaining as well as possible what to do and how and what to expect from them)? I have opened several "obvious" enhancement requests, and I have seen them fixed in some time.
