1 thread per connection??? Not doing continual GC in a separate thread and instead taking 7 seconds and blocking everything?

What is this the 1990s?

Feel free to fork MzScheme and replace the garbage collector with a new one that runs continuously.

Surely there's a way to target the JVM?

I'd trust my life on the JVM, it's pretty battle tested, and the GC is simply awesome.

The JVM really is great and the garbage collecting outstanding. Anyone who has written a real high performance app can tell you that.
