SGen on trunk runs this simple test

public class main {
    public static int Main () {
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 50000000; ++i) {
        object [] arr = new object [32];
    }
    return 0;
    }
}

in 9 seconds, vs 73 seconds with Boehm.  Note, however, that the speedup is to
a big part due not to better allocation speed, but to the fact that a copying
garbage collector deals with ephemeral garbage much better.  Running both with
--stats we get for SGen:

Minor GC collections:   14171
Major GC collections:   567
Minor GC time in msecs: 893.863000
Major GC time in msecs: 1064.391000

and for Boehm:

Major GC collections:   159746
Major GC time in msecs: 48177.850000
