w.r.t spending time in the GC, since the GC is run based on the amount
of memory that has been allocated (as opposed to the amount of garbage
generated, for example. which we sadly can't know in advance), the "mem"
profiler (aka `M-x profilter-start RET mem RET`) can be very useful
since it does a sampling-based profiling where the "time" is measured in
number of byte allocated (or some approximation thereof).
