Likely, yes. (Welcome to real-time programming; if you don't keep track of your time-budget, you're gonna have a bad day.)

I haven't looked at Nimrod's GC, but I believe it's indeed incremental; it won't take more time than you give it, but it will leave things uncollected if you don't give it [enough] time.

in a game, detect gc pressure and schedule some slo mo candy to use as gc cover.
