   Actually, there are GC schemes that interpolate structure creation
   with space reclamation so that even over relatively small time 
   intervals (e.g. much less than a millisecond, perhaps a microsecond), 
   the fraction of time spent in GC can be bounded.  

   There is a rather extensive literature on GC now doing back for
   thirty years.  Maybe someone from the lisp community could compile
   a bibliography and post it here...

Harlequin Inc. issued a press release back in August about a real-time
CLOS implementation that they were providing to AT&T for an upcoming
switching system.
