This is the wrong question to ask. As I mentioned already, a tracing GC is usually much faster (in throughput) than any other GC techniques that I know of (except not freeing memory). Even the simple GC julia has outperform the best malloc implementation I can find by a large margin. The right GC techniques to use is usually a trade off between throughput and latency.
