No, disabling GC would disable procedure calls (since continuation-frames
are heap-allocated). You can reduce "major" GCs (which usually take longest)
by either using a large initial heap (for example by using the "-:h..."
runtime parameter) and trying to avoid consing much, but GC is intertwined
with procedure call and -return in the execution scheme used by CHICKEN.
