[issue4794] garbage collector blocks and takes worst-case linear time wrt number of objects

I ask because in my opinion a three-second pause on a modern machine is
significant for any program with any sort of interactivity--significant
enough to warrant a warning in the documentation. Python is a great
language and I think it deserves an incremental implementation of
garbage collection.
