S7's has a tracing garbage collector, meaning that it has a set of "roots" which it traces all live objects from. When all live objects are found, everything else can be freed. You might want to find this work interesting: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/rollendurchmesserzeitsammler/ although I'm not sure it would work very well as a replacement for s7's garbage collector. It might work to replace it with BDW-GC running in incremental mode though, although I wouldn't bet on it.
