Comment(by mikehh):
I agree with the above comment in essence, however one of the major
advantages of copying collectors is that the collector compacts the heap
discarding short-lived objects. Techniques are available so that long-
lived objects can be set up in a 'different' space and handled in a
generational or incremental collector. I have put these notes on the wiki
as CopyingGarbageCollector and also CheneysCopyingCollector and I will
expand them as well as adding further notes later.
