Inhouse, we didn't really use mem2/mem3, or jit4.  Mike Chen (from
Stanford) was doing jit4 for his PhD, but it was never completely
integrated into the tree, so I never saw it working.  I need to get in
touch with him sometime to see what's up with it (Transvirtual was
paying him so we could use the code, but I believe that arrangement came
to an end after Tim left, and before I started working on it).

The mem2 garbage collector never really worked, from what I understand. 
The mem3 garbage is basically Hans Boehm's open source garbage
collector, hacked up to work with Kaffe.  I think Tim told me that it
worked, but I've never really tried it out.  I also think he said it
wasn't really an improvement over the standard garbage collector (which
is what we're mostly used to).
