I made one a profiler report for a complete 1-2 day session (see 
the e-mail referencing "mtrace3"), but none for just garbage 
collection.  I'll do that for the next one.

Is there any easy way to check if any of my packages are adding 
extra hooks around garbage-collect?  I can't imagine why they 
would, but you never know.

Thanks
