Yes, that's expected and no not "regardless of implementation": the GC implementation CAN be improved.

See this discussion on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1wf2fei/40ms_g...

I remember a research paper about swap and GC, where the GC cooperated with the OS to avoid this kind of issue. AFAIK it went nowhere, too bad.

Are you talking about this one? https://cse.buffalo.edu/\~mhertz/bc-pldi-2005.pdf. If so, yes. Too bad. I don't know the repercusions this paper had in the past, though, in the sense of pros and cons of the bookmark collector. Don't know if anyone tried to actually implement it or design it at some point.

Yes, congratulations for finding it. And I don't know either,. Except that they did implement it on Linux (of course) https://plasma.cs.umass.edu/emery/cooperative-memory-managem...
