I was looking through Peter's GC code, and I see that he builds a map of pointers. I was wondering if a ref-linked implementation would make the scan process faster. You could maintain a map of pointers that would constitute your root set? Then instead of scanning raw memory, just scan the ref-links? Maybe that's what Andrei was referring to by the "shared global map approach". Anyway, it doesn't seem any worse off than a raw scan.
