** [issues:#5797] Do not run GC after processing every file.**
**Status:** Started

When processing multiple files, we ran GC between the files. The
motivation was that we use a conservative garbage collector, so we get
the most accurate scan when our stack is small. We never measured the
impact of this idea.
On every GC, we pay the cost of tracing through the live set,
ie. fixed data that spans multiple files, and by forcing GC calls, we
trace that data more often than necessary.
We get CPU time savings of ~20 % by not forcing GC.
For GUILE 1.8, the following timings for running "make test-baseline"
on my development branch
force GC on every file
real 3m23.886s
user 8m6.921s
let the GC decide when to collect
real 3m10.523s
user 6m36.925s
For GUILE 2.2, the difference is similar.
