best scheme/lisp for real time code

Is Chicken a good idea? I am worried about the way it does GC. Exhausting the stack seems a bit... Java. I'm looking at Gambit too but I don't know much about it yet.

Whatever I end up using needs to work on ARM. It doesn't have to target C as long as it has FFI and short GC pauses (I am aiming for less than 5ms.)

Why doesn't this show up in the memory management literature? Latency seems very low, I'm guessing somewhere between RC with and RC without cycle collector. I've always liked RC because it runs at each return.

Probably because it is a variation of generational garbage collection, with heuristics being that returned values live longer than locals.
