It has to happen sometime. It doesn't take any less time just because
you did it in a thread. This way it is nice and predicatable and yaffs
remains simple and single-threaded which is good on simpler systems
and avoids a whole class of bugs.
There may be circumstances where a separate thread would make sense.
Does you situation really need threaded GC?
