There was a presentation at last year's DConf by Sociomantic on their replacement GC. I believe that it included a bit of info on the internals of the original collector, though.
Yeah, Manu put me on the Rainer Schütze's talk from DConf, which definitely gets more to where I want to be from the start. My initial investigations made me do a double take when I saw that the default garbage collector scans entire blocks of memory for pointers rather than the blocks of memory known to hold pointers. Thanks for the input, all.
