The new GC won't help in this special case.

The current async socket implementation is a solely managed one, merely
a wrapper around the 1.1 APIs. There is no runtime support for the new
async socket APIs introduced with .NET 2.0.

So you're actually blaming a wrapper whose solely intention was
to gain .NET 2.0 compatibility.

Patches welcome :)
