No, it's continuous and automatic. This brings up an interesting point,
however. If you have some code that seems to drag because of the garbage
collection, profile it and share the info. Maybe an on/off switch would be
something we could request for a future version of Euphoria, if we can prove a
need for speed.

with type_check turns it on, and without type_check turns it off, but not for
all checks. According to the manual, Euphoria runs faster with some checks in
place, so you can't turn those off.
Re: windows delays (snipped) I notice the same kinds of delays all the time
with Win 98. Even clicking on an icon can sometimes cause a delay of a couple of
seconds before anything happens. Not even a cursor change or the darkening of
the icon. Who knows what Windows is doing?
