Here is my proposal for making the GC run less often. The objective is to avoid the quadratic-time behavior if many objects are created and none of them is garbage. [SNIP] Applications with a small number of objects will see no change in behavior, also, applications that create lots of small cycles will continue to see them collected in the youngest or middle generations.
Please let me know what you think.
Interesting. Seems reasonable to me if the impact really is as minimal as you say, Martin.
