If we replace "should" with "must", I agree.
Regarding the HBGC, a few nonscientific tests earlier this year
showed that HBGC had _much_ lower latency than Guile's garbage
collector.
I am planning to measure the difference in latency properly
quite soon, and if what I suspect is correct, that the HBGC
has significant lower latency, this is another "should"
for replacing the old one, even if the new one is a little
bit slower and use a little bit more memory.
