Hello, [ Disclaimer: I don't want to start a flame on GC, just add some additional information. ]

Well, reference counting adds an overhead on all pointer handling operations, as well as additional memory (and thus cache) use. I made this explicit with some profiling some time ago. That's said, David Allouche tried a long time ago to add Boehm GC to TeXmacs but this operation failed to add any performance improvement (memory use was increased by a factor of 1.5 or 2). But maybe Stijn and Niels can add a more efficient GC?
