@defopt gc-cons-percentage
! The value of this variable is the minimum portion of the heap that
! should be allocated before a garbage collection takes place. It is
! used only if the specified size is larger than
! @code{gc-cons-threshold}.
As the heap size increases, the time to perform a garbage collection
! increases, so in order to compensate, this variable tries to
! correspondingly reduce the frequency of collection by letting Emacs
! allocate more memory between each collection.

@defopt gc-cons-percentage
! The value of this variable specifies the amount of consing before a
! garbage collection occurs, as a fraction of the current heap size.
! This criterion and @code{gc-cons-threshold} apply in parallel, and
! garbage collection occurs only when both criteria are satisfied.
As the heap size increases, the time to perform a garbage collection
! increases. Thus, it can be desirable to do them less frequently in
! proportion.
