That means other work goes on during a collection.

Interesting. I'm wondering how it does that. I can see the actual
cleanup occurring while other work is going on, but how does it identify
the garbage to be cleaned up w/out suspending the other threads. If the
thread is running, the reference to the object could be in a CPU
register, how would GC know about it? I'm not deeply familiar w/Java's
GC, but I am w/.NET's and there is a momentary stop of all threads when
GC kicks in... we're talking microseconds, but it's there.
