[gclist] What wrong with the GC in xemacs

I'm not convinced it *is* bad.  Ever since they put in the "do a GC if
the user's idle" feature in Emacs 19, I have not once been interrupted
by a GC while typing.  So by the "how much it disturbs interactive use"
criteria, it does just fine.  I'm not really sure what other criteria
there could be -- total execution time spent in GC?  Number of annoying
"Garbage collecting...done" messages?
