As it seems, RC with GC for cycle collection was more common than I thought of.
I once read a paper that suggested optimizing GC by having RC on all objects and stop inc/dec ref counting when it reached 5 or something. I guess the idea was to get rid of short lived objects to make the GC run less often while cutting RC overhead.
