When I say low threshold I think to something in the magniture order of
the current default, so in practice this is not a problem.
Also I though was a feature to have the guarantee that before starting
the next command after idle the garbage was under a certain threshold.
As a consequence I still have the Lisp as my favorite.
That said, I indeed like the feature :)
