The main goal is to call it less often I'd say (or at least KNOW where it's called). Of course, for most normal sized projects, you wouldn't ever get to a stage where gc time matters.

That's right. In earlier versions you can still control the gc somewhat by making explicit gc() calls sufficiently frequently, but that's typically not a solution.
If there's a demand for it in 7.4 I wouldn't be against backporting Pike.gc_parameters.
