Sorry, that sounded confusing - I set it to 100 in previous tests, and forgot
to include it, so it was running with 30000. When experimenting, I actually
do get the gc to do more frequent operations now.

Is there any obvious harm setting it to a very low value (such as 100 or 10)?

I assume all it does is have less time buffer between the last operation
and the gc starting. When I write in batches, or when I know the fs will be
idle, there shouldn't be any harm, performance wise, of letting it work all
the time.
