garbage collections, etc

I'm back, with some more newbie questions! I forget, but i think someone covered garbage collections already,, some,, but is it possible, in a time-constrained section of code, to turn off all garbage collection until that section of code is done? What about turning off type checking and range/bounds checking in a proven section of code and then turning those back on too? Can garbage collection be interrupted between each var being collected, to be resumed later? Also, i noticed occasionally when it seems like windoze has un-cached something Eu needs, it takes on average .4 sec to get the Eu task back up to speed if it's been idle, especially in disk accesses. That isn't bad, really, on bigger apps, 2 sec is about average. But is there any way to tell this uncooperative OS to remember i want Eu ready at my beck all the time?, to cut that .4 sec lag down,, `cause it could add up, and i can see in the future i may be faced with 10 sec of lag as windoze reloads the uncached Eu sessions. I have 64Meg of ram, so i *shouldn't* <wince> have a problem, right? <sigh> Kat, hoping to extract RawBlazingSpeed from BlahRaisingSpeed.
