The GC of Squeak is not realtime, but people have made Smalltalks with realtime memory management. The original OTI Smalltalk, which morphed into IBM's VisualAge for Smalltalk, was real-time. When OTI reengineered it for IBM, one of the first things they did was write a faster, but non-realtime, garbage collector. See http://www.oovm.com/ for a commercial system that might see the light of day. I played with it a bit and it was pretty nice, though they changed the langauge to improve its performance on very small machines.
