One of the consequences of this being that when you do in-process caching, you trade improved average case performance for degraded worst-case behavior, unless the GC authors have taken some pains to deal with pointer chasing on writes to the old generation.

I'm kind of a fan of out-of-process, same-system caches for this reason.
