Hi,

I'm working with a big IPython notebook with inline matplotlib charts and a lot of objects in memory. When a chart is drawn IPython closes the matplotlib figure; when this happens matplotlib callsgc.collect()here (there is an another possible gc.collect callhere). This causes 5-10s delays, making interactive work uncomfortable.

What do you think about removing these calls, or maybe using less aggressive settings, like generation 0 or 1? In my casegc.collect(0) andgc.collect(1) are instant unlikegc.collect() orgc.collect(2).

I've fired a related issue to the IPython bug tracker:ipython/ipython#5795
