Marking of span roots can represent a significant fraction of the time spent in mark termination. Simply traversing the span list takes about 1ms per GB of heap and if there are a large number of finalizers (for example, for network connections), it may take much longer. Improve the situation by splitting the span scan into 128 subtasks that can be executed in parallel and load balanced by the markroots parallel for. This lets the GC balance this job across the Ps. A better solution is to do this during concurrent mark, or to improve it algorithmically, but this is a simple change with a lot of bang for the buck. This was suggested by Rhys Hiltner.
