Does SIOD still use the BDW Conservative Collector? If so, and if my memory serves me, there is a patch to that collector to make it operate incrementally. This will at least make it deterministic, although much slower to allocate. It's probably worth looking into. It may even solve some as yet unfound bugs in the rest of Pd...

Something like that would be great, except that in the SIOD references I've found, and in the download I used, no reference was made at all to the BDW collector - the SIOD I have just has a choice of Mark and Sweep, or Copy (I think), neither of which are incremental.
