Making a fixnum a pointer to a allocated memory containing the value is terribly slow.

The infinite loop could be caused by two objects that references each other, e.g. a references b and b references a, so the GC keeps going from a to b and from b to a. To solve the problem, if this is the problem, if an object has been already marked, don't follow it.
