No, I wasn't -- I actually found out about scm_block_gc by googling
"Guile performance." It came up on a mailing list where some Gnucash
developers were fussing over their build.

Actually, I just tried -- boosting those values actually cuts down on
GC thrashing considerably. Thanks! (Plus, I don't actually think
it's out of the question to have the application set those variables
before initializing Guile.)

It does, a great deal! Thanks so much for the information.
