------- Additional Comments from Nathan Lawrence <nlawrence at apple.com>
It would be nice to have the GC run a few seconds after the last allocation. 
We can approximate this by having a timer start running at the beginning of
allocation, and resetting the timer whenever the heap is reset.  If there are a
number of allocations happening, then the timer will always get reset before it
times out and the GC is called.  If there are very few allocations happening
then the timer fire and we will collect the garbage.
