It doesn't remove GC entirely, but it does speed things up considerably 
and the hot spots change. Here's a sample profile (the data are noisier 
now of course):

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
  %   cumulative   self              self total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls  ms/call  ms/call name

The command I used was:

emacs -Q -eval "(progn (setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum) 
(describe-variable 'password-word-equivalents))"

and typing C-x C-c immediately. I suspect this is not helping us find 
Drew's problem.
