I'm not certain what style of garbage collection is done in the ocaml
runtime environment, but if its generational for example, I'd like to
move certain values into the 'oldest' generation, so that the garbage
collector doesn't waste time on them.
The running program in question has a large datastructure that is very
persistent which takes a lot of GC time if it is transversed too
often.
So I suppose what I'm asking is: is there a way to give the GC'er
'hints' through the Obj module, or any other method?
Thanks,
Matt
