This may be nice, but there is never a 'non-critical' part of a game where I can spare 5...10...15ms (I hear 15ms quoted often, that's a *whole* frame) to let the GC do its thing.
It should also be possible to do the gc in another thread running at low priority, if the only other running thread is doing the critical stuff and is not the sole holder of references to any GC allocated memory it is using.
