I suggested this several times: work the GC so it only intervenes if
the consumed memory would otherwise be prohibitively large. That way
there's never a collection during normal compilation.

Nobody told you that the GC was THAT SLOW that it as even slower than
the swap ? You really know nothing about optimization, don't you ?
This is not even remotely appropriate. Where did it come from?
