No, actually, my comment was
    That's where the "nondeterministic time" comes in with reference
    counting, just so you recognise.

*I* was talking about the fact that people discussing real-time GC don't 
like reference counting because you have to run an arbitrarily large 
number of links to reclaim memory.

When it happens is deterministic. How long it takes is (while 
deterministic) too complicated to calculate reliably.
