Hi,

+1 on a C API for enabling and disabling GC.  I have several instances where I create a large number of objects non-cyclic objects where I see huge GC overhead (30+ seconds with gc enabled, 0.15 seconds when disabled).

Could you try to post a stripped-down, self-contained example of such behaviour?

Antoine.
