Well, on a regular phone there will be a number of applications and services running. Even things like receiving an email or sms or other random events will cause a GC at least once every 4 minutes. I don't think there's a way to circumvent this without getting rid of the allocations that happen in these programs.
I've heard that the newer 2.0 versions have improved garbage collection hogging the cpu dramatically. However I haven't done any tests yet. Do the GC runs happen in the emulator, or only on the phone?
