bug: all generations are collected sequentially when compacting collection kicks in
According to GHC documentation here, compacting collection should only be used for the oldest generation. I found out however while testing one of our programs that when compacting kicks in, Gen 0 were not being collected in parallel as well.
Looking at the code, the bug looks to be here, fixing this should be a simple change to the condition in the if phrase.
