Why do you need to walk the entire heap?  Every variable is reference
counted,
why not just add it to a "collection list" when the reference count reaches
zero,
then just walk the collection list at gc time?  There would be issues with
memory
fragmentation, but that could be handled at a different time, or not at all.
