That was your interpretation of the results. It isn't mine: I don't
think that the fact that in your particular testing GC was a bugger
problem than the uninterruptible loop means the ability to interrupt
those loops has no value.
Besides, one particular simulation of the problem is not convincing
enough anyway.

I don't see what else can I explain in addition to what I already did.

How about if I turn the table and ask why is it so important to remove
those calls?
