And that is a good reason to compartmentalize the GC so that it 
only affects one task on one thread if it kicks in. Hopefully one 
can write code that is segmented into many smaller tasks that 
bypass collection altogheter. And if you can't, then write a 
GC-less task.

Anyway, dedicated specialized GCs are not relevant to the 
discussion. Chrome also has a GC, again, it is specialized and 
not relevant.
