May it be done when loading init.el and early-init.el?
Init files are commonly known to be resource-intensive. They also tend
to trigger GC more because the heap size is not yet very large and thus
`gc-cons-percentage' does not yet take precedence over `gc-cons-threshold'.

As for "known in advance", may Emacs keep track of how many GCs are
triggered by user commands and then adjust GC dynamically?
