Temporarily disabling the GC would merely postpone reclamation work that
needs to be done eventually, and at the risk of allocating a potentially
huge amount of garbage while the GC is disabled, in the worst case.
Sounds like a bad idea to me.
If I knew how to make our 'map' faster, I would do it. Andy rewrote the
versions of 'map' in boot-9 and srfi-1 to take advantage of the
expanding stacks, and he seems quite skilled at writing efficient code.
I have no reason to think I could do better, and no spare time to make
the attempt.

I don't know how to make Boehm GC faster without making it more
difficult to write C code that manipulates heap objects, and without
adding more restrictions on the use of existing C libraries.
