GC always frees something, don't worry about that. Your chances of
finding Emacs in a state that it has no garbage to free are nil.

??? really? That can only happen if memory-full is non-nil. Is it?

No, in the echo area. these messages don't go to *Messages*.

That won't help in this case: GC is in C, and the profiler doesn't
profile C code that is not exposed to Lisp.
