Description

Do not run GC after processing every file. When processing multiple files, we ran GC between the files. The motivation was that we use a conservative garbage collector, so we get the most accurate scan when our stack is small. We never measured the impact of this idea. On every GC, we pay the cost of tracing through the live set, ie. fixed data that spans multiple files, and by forcing GC calls, we trace that data more often than necessary. We get CPU time savings of ~20 % by not forcing GC. For GUILE 1.8, the following timings for running "make test-baseline" on my development branch force GC on every file real 3m23.886s user 8m6.921s let the GC decide when to collect real 3m10.523s user 6m36.925s For GUILE 2.2, the difference is similar.
