** after a bad collection, and to switch back to generational mode only
** after a "good" collection (one that traverses less than 9/8 objects
** of the previous one).
** The collector must choose whether to stay in incremental mode or to
** switch back to generational mode before sweeping. At this point, it
** does not know the real memory in use, so it cannot use memory to
** decide whether to return to generational mode. Instead, it uses the
