I don't think this is a problem; you can
usually turn off
the GC during time-critical code, and in most cases, such code
is in C anyway (handled via a foreign function interface), and
at least in normal use, you're in control at that level.
I don't know about other garbage-collected languages, but
there is no way to temporarily disable GC in Python,
nor any way to force it to run at a particular time.
