   Hi   
      
   I'm looking into GC using ref-counting.   
      
   Does anyone know what passes for state-of-the-art when it comes to ref-   
   counting algorithms?   
   I've read papers by Lins 2003 "Lazy Cyclic Reference Counting",   
   Bacon / Rajan 2001 "Concurrent Cycle Collection in Reference Counted   
   Systems" and a few others.   
      
   If one would like to implement a fast GC using refcounting, should I   
   implement something like in those papers, or are there better   
   algorithms out there?
