Local: both conses and markers are allocated very often, and explicitly freed ones
most probably will be re-used again very soon, at the cost of link to/unlink from
the free lists, thus avoiding possible new block allocation.
Global: Ideal GC manages an infinite amount of memory so the collection is never
started. For the real cases, some time periods are more advisable for running GC
(when we're idle, for example); but, since we can't predict when "more advisable"
time comes, it's the best bet to run GC as later as possible for the same amount
of work.
