One experiment with multi-cores might be interesting -- concurrent GC.

The attached paper indicates an interesting strategy which worked OK for SML in terms of short pause times.  Multiple cores could really reduce the total run (gc+mutate) time.

The basic strategy seems simple enough that it would not be tons of work to try out. 

Not that I have much time either..  8^(
