Yes, see, e.g.,

Hello,
I just pushed the BDW-GC branch to Savannah:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/boehm-demers-weiser-gc
The machinery and benchmarks I used are available under the
`gc-benchmarks' directory:

Sure.

Some benchmarking would be really nice ;-)

This all sounds pretty compe
Hello!
One more thought...

Hello Guilers!
Below are some of the points (in no particular order) that IMO can make
it worthwhile to use the Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC [0] in Guile instead of
Guile's historical GC, from an engineering viewpoint.
