That's still a very large size for the initial generation, in
particular.  May I ask why you decided to do that?  I think for
interactive use, you want to keep the initial generation reasonably
small.

Are we sure that it's GC causing this?  I assume control + right click
shows a buffer menu, so it builds a list of all buffers, and you have a
lot of them...

I've played around a little creating 10,000 buffers and showing the
buffer menu, and there does appear to be some lag, but this is true both
with and without MPS.  I also tried a build with --with-x-toolkit=no,
and that seemed to have less lag.

I cannot tell from this whether MPS was called once and took a very long
time to run, or was called many times and the problem lies elsewhere.

Does the problem happen with the default generation sizes?
