I haven't benchmarked but I would expect that the fork() based GC 
can compete since it pauses only for the duration of the fork() 
system call. Everything else can be done concurrently.
And, unlike MS Windows, Apple's iOS is based on Darwin (BSD) so I 
would assume that a fork() interface is present there, too.
