Won't this slow things down? XEmacs' GC is not exactly fast

Making it any slower would be a mistake.
It probably does, but to be truthful I haven't been able to notice the
difference. The patch will be out soon, just try it and tell me how
it fells for you.
On one hand, markobj and marked_p are slightly slower (but may have a
better write locality). On the other, in the sweep pass none of the
dumped objects are looked at. The end result is far from clear.
Some speedups are possible, too. Of course the biggest apparent
speedup would come from a new gc better suited for interactive tasks,
but that's another problem.
