Re: Eager garbage collection

Starting GC immediately when Emacs becomes idle will degrade
responsiveness if there's a lot of garbage, because once GC starts, it
runs to completion no matter what.

IMHO it will be interesting to test how emacs will behave if the GC process is changed to allow
running a mode in which it will stop in the event of user input. It can be used for on-idle garbage
collection.
