When I play around with changing various GCs for Java (via Clojure), then I always setup benchmarks measuring what kind of thing I want to improve, run all GCs via that benchmark to chose which to use for that service/project and call it a day. There is a lot of theorizing and navel-gazing around GCs it seems to me, and in the end it is the results that count so setup some way to measure, find the differences then move on from there :)
