Following the discussion seems to me that the strategy you are
discussing for the idle GC is exactly what I've implemented in the GCMH
[1].

This into MELPA since about one year (I was without copyright assignment
at the time) but I'd be happy to have it in ELPA or to have it reused
somehow if it comes handy.
