As I understand it, it does some static analysis still. The big idea with the Perseus algorithm, I think, is that instead of lending a reference at a function call, it is given. This leads to numerous optimizations where memory can statically be reused. They still do dynamic checks that an object has only one reference, too, when it's not statically known.
