I have an application which does generate significant amounts of garbage,
and there is no easy way around it. I also make extensive use of eq-hash
tables. I am wondering whether these are actually a disadvantage in the
presence of the gc. I am assuming that eq-hash tables hash on the address
of the object, and after every gc we would have to rehash the tables. Is
this understanding correct, and if so, are there any rules of thumb for
deciding which type of table to use, given the suspected interaction with
the gc. Most of my tables need to be quick in access, and are not often
modified.

Any hints are appreciated,

Thomas
