Yes, but parallelization of the mark phase is fairly trivial, and

Ironically, Antti-ville's original proposal involved parallelization.
This was scrapped because after rtinfo was added, we agreed that precise
heap scanning was more important and looked newly feasible.
Oh, I agree it's more important. The GC is reasonably fast as-is, but
has severe issues with false pointers. Parallel marking is just in the
"nice to have" category.
