Believe it or not, performance was acceptable.
It doesn't do what you think it does[1]. Once garbage collection occurs
the value is checked to see whether it is below 10,000. If it is, it
is reset to 10,000.
I highly recommend it for alpha testing.
With debugging (--debug) enabled, yes that would be a good suggestion.
