Mechanisms and techniques operate in a computerized device to perform a memory management technique such as garbage collection. The mechanisms and techniques operate to detect, within a storage structure associated with a thread, general memory references that reference storage locations in a general memory area such as a heap. The storage structure may be a stack utilized by the thread, which may be, for example, a Java thread, during operation of the thread in the computerized device. The system maintains a reference structure containing an association to the general memory area for each detected general memory reference within the storage structure. The system then operates a memory management technique on the general memory area for locations in the general memory area other than those for which an association to the general memory area is maintained in the reference structure, thus increasing the performance of the memory management technique.
