Re: Very concurrent garbage collector for ARC

I've been working on an implementation of a concurrent garbage collector (based on Inferno's,http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/concurrent_gc/) to warn the user and reclaim memory in cycles found in ARC during runtime for the GNUStep's Objective-C library.

Is this as a debugging/performance tool? Or would it be incorporated in a released app? It sounds like a lot of runtime overhead to add, just to add the ability to free ref cycles.
