Did Larry Hastings ever publish his experience with separating the refcount for his Gilectomy project? I believe he told us at a sprint or language summit that he had this working, with much effort, but hadn't managed to make it faster than the existing refcounting implementation yet.

This is a good idea. An even better idea, for people who think this is
an interesting path, would be to actually experiment and then publish
their observations somewhere. Right now it seems python-ideas is
hosting the same discussion about immortal objects, rehashing the exact
same ideas, roughly every 6 months. That's not very productive.
