When I do a guix gc -d <store-entry>, it usually is quite fast, until I
hit:

$ guix gc
-d /gnu/store/apnk0ibj6axl9f0x5qa7ixpfvqww77rv-ruby-contracts-0.16.0 findin=
g garbage collector roots...
deleting `/gnu/store/apnk0ibj6axl9f0x5qa7ixpfvqww77rv-ruby-contracts-0.16.0'
deleting `/gnu/store/trash'
deleting unused links...

Why does that take soo long?

Or better: Is it save here to just hit CTRL-C (and let the daemon work
in background, or whatever)?
