I'm working on an incremental GC for PyPy. How do I measure GC pauses in CPython? (that is, the circular reference searching stuff) I would instrument the interpreter. The tricky part may be to subtract the time for any resulting finalization (and whether or not to subtract that at all). Regards, Martin

seems that:

gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_STATS) does the job

obviously timing gc.collect is quite the opposite of what I'm trying to achieve (see how cpython deals with when to collect)

I think including finalizer time is fine
