Frankly, if a sophisticated garbage collector is not capable of working
reasonably without extensive help when running for an application that
has no really extraordinary behavior, there is something wrong.  I think
we even do call gc manually between files, when utilisation is expected
to be low.  Given that the GC is somewhat reputed, I doubt that these
online-tuning tricks will give a major boost in performance.  I think
the best we can hope for is getting a reasonably fitting set of initial
parameters.  At least that should save us from runaway conditions.  Or
if not, we have someone we can blame for it.
