I recently came across a neat interview which describes upcoming changes to the OCaml GC and memory management system, which apparently lead to huge performance gains: https://signalsandthreads.com/memory-management/

The "huge performance gains" refers to the prefetching optimisation, which is already in OCaml (the old OCaml 4 branch, not in multicore yet).
