When I was researching how to do this, I was really hoping for something like "static areas" from the Lisp Machine operating system. You could allocate any normal object in an area of the heap where the GC would not bother with it. I miss that. I wonder why GHC doesn't have such a concept?
it has. bytestrings use this area, it's called "pinned arrays"
Thanks. I'll look into it. BTW, running my program with the compacting GC improved efficiency dramatically. Your initial idea that it was my other data was my other data was absolutely correct.
