Has the work done in 
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/grr/snapshot-gc-abstract.html been 
ported to Windows? I believe Windows supports the copy-on-write 
semantics necessary for that to work, and it should scale to multiple 
processors very nicely. Of course, there are probably other 
problems....

Just a thought for a technique that might be relevant for servers 
running on multiple processors that don't want a lot of locking 
overhead.
