IIRC the compressor implementation was still suffering from frequent
crashes. I'm afraid I can't give you any detailed information on the
status of the Compressor implementation - garbage collection is not my
area of expertise.

My personal opinion is that a new collector shouldn't be more unstable
than the collectors that are tested in the sanity and sanity-tier2 runs.
It's been a while since I looked at the regression reports in detail but
from memory I'd say that this translates to one failure per multiple
weeks of test runs.


Kind regards,
