Generational garbage collection is an established method for creating eecient garbage collectors. Even a simple implementation where all nodes that survive one garbage collection are tenured, i.e., moved to an old generation , works well in strict languages.

These results hint at an obvious generational threshold for adaptation at the level of the consensus...
