Sorry if it was already discussed, but I believe this approach also requires marking vtable bit/byte on each object allocation, unitl the "unloading" GC pass is strictly stop-the-world full-heap collection. Robin, did you include this particular overhead too in your measurements? -- Regards, Alexey
