I don't think performance is really the issue here. Rather, we are looking for a convenient way to write GC-safe code, without putting too much contraint on the GC implementation (so that we can switch to another kind of GC later, if need be). For instance, if the C code assumes that objects never move, it becomes hard to switch to a generational GC. -- Jerome
