The REE patch made Ruby so slow on some non-Web cases.  AuthorNari
made the faster patch.  But it's still (much) slower than the original
GC for non forking programs.  Besides that, the patch had the serious
bug which we could not identify for long time.

Ko1 is working on improvement on Ruby's memory management (not GC).
We have good chance to make the GC COW friendly base on that
improvement.  Stay tuned.
