It doesn't remove GC entirely, but it does speed things up considerably 
and the hot spots change. Here's a sample profile (the data are noisier 
now of course):

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
   %   cumulative   self              self total
  time   seconds   seconds    calls  ms/call  ms/call name
  25.00      0.02     0.02   673036     0.00     0.00 mark_object
  12.50      0.03     0.01    69505     0.00     0.00 Fassq
  12.50      0.04     0.01    49803     0.00     0.00 re_search_2
  12.50      0.05     0.01    31578     0.00     0.00 Ffuncall
  12.50      0.06     0.01    10570     0.00     0.00 exec_byte_code
  12.50      0.07     0.01      225     0.04     0.04 map_sub_char_table
  12.50      0.08     0.01        3     3.33     3.33 sweep_strings

The command I used was:

emacs -Q -eval "(progn (setq gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum) 
(describe-variable 'password-word-equivalents))"

and typing C-x C-c immediately. I suspect this is not helping us find 
Drew's problem.
