Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Cache misses are currently a major factor in the cost of garbage collection, and  expect them to dominate in the future. Traditional garbage collection algorithms exhibit relatively little temporal locality; each live object in the heap is likely to be touched exactly once during each garbage collection.  measure two techniques for dealing with this issue: prefetch-on-grey, and lazy seping. The first of these is new in this context. Lazy seping has been in common use for a decade. It was introduced as a mechanism for reducing paging and pause times;  argue that it is also crucial for eliminating cache misses during the sep phase.  Our measurements are obtained in the context of a non-moving garbage collector. Fully copying garbage collection inherently requires more traffic through the cache, and thus probably also stands to benefit substantially from something like the prefetch-on-grey technique. Generational garbage collection may reduce the benefit of these techniques for some applications, but experiments with a non-moving generational collector suggest that they remain quite useful.
