Proof about throughput? Stating something as fact isn’t quite as strong as showing axes. Also performance has multiple axis for measuring: throughput, latency, memory usage, etc etc. Java eating all your memory and spending a non-trivial amount of overall CPU on a tracing collector which can negatively impact latency isn’t necessarily what people want efficiency wise where smearing that over total execution time tends to give better results.
The main advantage from a tracing GC is that you have an easier programming model (which isn’t a trivial trade off) but the downside is that you don’t have deterministic destruction which can make certain programming paradigms difficult (yes Java introduced alternate mechanisms to get you there if you care but it feels like a 100% bolt on rather than something integrated more neatly and elegantly and most developers don’t actually care).
