The biggest problem is that our garbage collector runs in a seperate thread
from the application.  We could have the interpreter stop now and then and
run the GC, but it's not in our current design.  It always just boils down
to extra work of course.

How much of the "marketplace" is going to want to run threadless?  I can't
imagine Apache running threadless for example.
