If you mean concurrent as in it can use multiple threads, that already 
is happening.

If you mean concurrent as in you can allocate and mark/sweep in separate 
threads independently, that would be a huge improvement.

Even if you have some way to designate "this one thread can't be 
paused", and figure out a way to section that off, it would be huge.
