In the case of nasal, I believe the garbage collection pass must be done in
a single atomic step, otherwise it would leave the heap in
an inconsistent state and adversely affect the scripts.
I completely agree with you. Now I understand the whole thing much better.
I originally thought about
As discussed in Stuttering at 1 Hz rate we now know that regular and
unpleasant stuttering is caused by Nasals garbage collector.
So I thought about possibilities to improve it.
What if we could decouple the following function as a separate thread, so
that it runs *asynchronously* from the main

that garbage collection is not something we can divide up into chunks (which
is essentially what threading would do.) In addition, threading adds a lot

Just for the record, I would be pretty strongly opposed to adding a thread
for no particular benefit. In fact I think the threshold of gained benefit
needs to be pretty high to add another thread to the code. Threads might
seem simple at first, but they can hide nasty bugs that are almost
