> because it is using the Boehm GC

For what reason? Mono has a pretty good precise GC since many years.

Yes, SGen should be a lot better, but Unity cannot use it because they hold and pass raw pointers around everywhere. That's fine for Boehm but not possible with SGen. They're working on fixing this already but not sure why they aren't planning a move to a better GC.
