AFAIK, kaffe's gc stops the world when it goes about doing its business. I believe that Sun's VMs only recently changed their default gc to collect garbage in an asynchronious thread. PocketLinux kaffe has a gc interface to the Boehm garbage collector (used by gcj btw.). I can't tell if using that gc would be an improvement. > What exactly is the Kaffe garbage collection policy?
