I was quite suprised by the performance of the conservative
Boehm-Demers-Weiser collector, even in cases where I thought it was
sub-par.  So benchmarking available solutions makes sense indeed. 8-)

(Lack of continuations is probably a better excuse if you don't want
to use LLVM, especially if you don't want to perform whole-program
analysis.)
