pool_gc() causes quite some stress on the memory allocator because it calls a lot of free() calls while other threads are using malloc(). In addition, pool_gc() needs to take care of possible locking because it may be called from pool allocators. One way to avoid all this is to use thread_isolate() to make sure the gc runs alone. By putting less pressure on the pools and getting rid of the locks, it may even take less time to complete.
