Is that true, though?

Better yet, it doesn’t even need a reconciliation: just add 
“--DRT-gcopt=gc:precise” on the command line and you have changed 
the scanning algorithm. There are many more options to configure 
the gc[1]. You can even write your own collector and switching to 
it is just as simple.
