No, the other threads are not contending for that mutex. So when some thread is about to start a GC cycle you'll have to actively interrupt all other threads. To this end you could use a hook. However, I suspect that it is hardly worth the trouble. Anyway, if you come up with something it would be interesting to hear about it!
