Think it'd work with a concurrent collector? :)

GC seems like a pain in the neck to deal with! I know it can run with a
concurrent "proxy" collector. As for concurrent "traditional" GC that
attempts to "track everything in sight", well, the performance might get
worse. GC can sometimes stab the scalability of your applications right in
the back... Humm...

In this case, they depend on "stop the world" GC to get exclusive
access.
