I've just read Jakob Seligmann's M.Sc. thesis 'Incremental Mature
Garbage Collection', in which he replaced the Mjoelner BETA run-time
system's mark-and-sweep mature garbage collection with an
implementation of the train algorithim fo incremental mature garbage
collection. Have Mjoelner incorperated those changes, or are they
still using mark-and-sweep. The conclusion of the thesis was that the
train algorithim was less disrupting than mark-and-sweep.
