    Take a look at the variable gc-cons-threshold.  If your machine
is not a toy (or over-committed) you can go up to a few hundred
thousand and have your gcs spread more.  Of course, that means that
when a gc hits, it takes longer.

>P.S. GNU EMACS may be king, but HEMLOCK is GOD.

    Hem-what?  Mind being more specific?
