Sounds true to me.
There isn't much movement on the heap however, is there some clever way
to postpone garbage collection? 
Its not allowed in java itself, as java is (ideally) unaware of the
garbage collector, but perhaps some option when compiling gcc?
Can you make the Boehm GC less 'eager'?
Its a shame since the benchmarks shows that GCJ has a big potential.
