Some years ago we had some comparision between two PostScript (Not GS) 
Interpreters without rendering to disk but generating loads of data 
Harlequin RIP beat the other by large factors which we found out were 
due to their garbage collector besides other things, this group also 
built the GC for LispWorks and is now available open source, I don't 
know how it's licenced but I know it was also used in Dylan from 
Halequin (for those of you who remember the language).

Maybe you should look at some of their ideas, the link is bellow.
