I would it be possible, if not a good idea, to only track object deallocations as the GC traversal trigger? As far as I know, dangling cyclic references cannot be formed when allocating objects. Not sure what you mean by that. x = [] x.append(x) del x creates a cycle with no deallocation occurring.

Oh... never mind then.
