Did you try that? If not, please do. In my experience, your
suggestion has a downside: the GC indeed happens less frequently, but
when it does, it takes an annoyingly long time. I find it easier to
tolerate many GCs that run to completion in less than a second, than
to have a few GCs that take several seconds each.
