Given that you have Erlang-like process isolation(?), you could use a
separate heap and GC in each thread, like Erlang does.  That should
reduce GC latency in any individual thread.  Or are you already doing
that?  I don't understand the difference between your local (120ms) and
global (1.2s) GC's.
