New description:

 This is an interesting thing to figure out

 If you compile a completely empty file, and run it with `-:g`, sometimes
 it will do a major GC and sometimes it won't (just run it a few times,
 you'll notice the output is different sometimes).

 Also, the major GC count is always at least 1.

 This might also contribute to the instability of our benchmark results.
