I love this. I write some data analysis code and for ease of development and speed I keep the tables I build in memory. Generating those tables takes lots of memory and CPU, so I disabled the GC and manually run GC when the runtime memory stats start to get close to the system limit. Seems to be working great, but I had to hack the runtime to do it.
