Hmmm, not that easy. One of the major reasons why people left other

Last I heard, most Java VM's could still halt your program at random
intervals for a GC cycle. Has any Java environment started running the
GC in its own thread, yet?
Apple's got a GC that was developed for ScriptX, that is very good about
remaining unobtrusive. You could tell it (for example) to go and
collect until it gets 100K, or collect for 20 milliseconds, etc.
