What does this mean practically? Where/when will we see the reduction effect? And how much will it be? I'm not familiar with "marking time".
In Chrome 64 and Node.js v10, your JavaScript apps now continue execution while the @v8js garbage collector scans the heap to find and mark live objects!

The article explains it in more detail, but marking is a crucial part of garbage collection. This change means less jank during garbage collection cycles, both on the web and in Node.js.

Ultra cool. It was the major feature missing in V8. Now JS can challenge Big data apps on server side and Web assembly apps on front end browsers
