Feature #1047: request: getters, setters for the GC
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1047

Author: Roger Pack
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

It has been shown that increasing the malloc_limit can have a dramatic effect in speeding up certain programs.
ex:

Ruby 1.9 normal: 
real-world/bm_hilbert_matrix.rb, 
4.0054624080658,4.09904861450195,4.052255511283875,0.046793103218079,50 

ruby 1.9 trunk with increased malloc_limit [1] 
real-world/bm_hilbert_matrix.rb, 
2.87246918678284,2.8920271396637,2.882248163223267,0.009778976440430,50 

So I would like to request getters and setters for malloc_limit, HEAP_MIN_SLOTS, etc, if that's possible.
Thanks much!
