When GC runs less often, doesn't that rather increase the amount of things needed to be cleaned up _when_ GC finally runs? So actually the GC time _at that point_ should be longer, not shorter, while in total summed up, it should be shorter. Running GC often means cleaning up less stuff for every GC run, so the GC time for each run should be shorter.
Do I have any misconceptions?
I think you're right, based on screwing around with Flash's GC a couple decades ago. (Iirc, you could only really control it with the debug player.)
