-*** Better garbage collection
-Emacs sometimes freezes up a bit when doing some garbage collection,
-which is not super. So, in order to fix that, I do two things:
-1. Set up a really high threshold (I have a lot of RAM to spare, so I
-   don’t really care),
-2. Hook garbage collection thirty seconds after Emacs loses focus and
-   every thirty seconds after that,
-3. Cancel garbage collection if Emacs gains focus back within this
-   thirty seconds window.
-
-With a garbage collection threshold, Emacs should never garbage
-collect on its own, and Emacs is free to freeze up for a few seconds
-when it loses focus since I’m looking away.
