Hi Ken,
I have this very paper on my desk, printed out from (alas, much)
earlier in the year. Anyone who has energy to address this would be very
very welcome. Writing a concurrent incremental mark-sweep that handles
ephemeron is the task. Making it function both in small bursts, e.g. after
scavenging, and in its own thread is I think important; a non-threaded
solution can be extremely efficient in certain contexts.
