Details

In large sessions, the GC will spit out hundreds of console messages every few seconds. This is extremely annoying when you want to just monitor general performance and are perhaps trying to use the console for other things, e.g. monitoring the CC.

I think this was referring to dumping timing information into the console. Nowadays we tend to use the profiler instead to see where the GC is spending time, so we can close this.
