When I living in Emacs, I like long press `j` (evil-next-line) and `k` 
(evil-previous-line) to move around the code.
In master build, long press `j` and `k` are very smooth.
But in mps build, long press `j` and `k` can feel frequent brief pauses. 

So I tested whether increasing the number in `mps_gen_param_s` would make 
long-pressing `j` and `k` smoother. After the test, it did help, but I still 
feel pauses when long-pressing `j` and `k`.

No, I think the ctrl + right click is not related to GC.
