I can't think of any case where that would provide any noticeable
benefit (whereas I can think of cases where it just wastes resources).
The GC is run fairly regularly, also typically while idle, and does the
compaction.

So until you can provide some concrete and convincing numbers that show
some benefit, I'd ask you to remove that pat of your patch.
