Fwd: [Gc] Performance of bdwgc7.2 had degraded compared to6.8 - the patch to test

[Carsten Kehler Holst]

Did you try 6.8 with ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS turned on?
Our problem is that we have had it on both in 6.8 and in 7.2a4.
It is quite possible that the problem has to do with ALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS but something must have changed between 6.8 and 7.2.
