Your idea can be combined with the maxint/2 initial refcount for

non-disposable objects, which should about eliminate thread-count updates for them. --

I don't really like the maxint/2 idea because it requires us to differentiate between globals and everything else. Plus, it's a hack. I'd like a more elegant solution if possible.
