I think I understood, but my question still stands: how will a more
detailed GC report help you in what you are trying to do?

You can see the kind of data GC returns in the doc string of
garbage-collect, and you can see that in action if you invoke
"M-x garbage-collect RET" by hand.  Please tell how will this data
help you do what you want to do.
