What specific problems do you hope to solve with the new design?  
Is it only to improve the speed at which the GC runs to 
completion on a single pass?  What about premptability so the GC 
could run as a low priority task, and be interrupted at any time 
to run something at a higher priority?  Is that out of scope?
