      Parallel Compact GC splits a large array in stripes during marking, so that other workers can steal the work.

      Currently, it only splits a large array into two tasks, retains and pushes remaining into a task queue for task stealing, depends on next worker to further split the array if possible, that creates artificial dependency.

      I would like purpose to have the first worker breaking up the array, to eliminate the dependency.
