So they've caught up to Appel in 1987.

How long until they catch up with Miller and Rozas 1994?

@techreport{ miller94garbage,
    author = "James S. Miller and Guillermo J. Rozas",
    title = "Garbage Collection is Fast, but a Stack is Faster",
    number = "AIM-1462",
    pages = "37",
    year = "1994",
    url = "citeseer.ist.psu.edu/miller94garbage.html" }

(Weird, since Miller is one of the .NET architects!)
