Guy, thanks for your response. Using method(:counter) is an improvement over
proc{counter}; it slows the flow, without actually stopping it. TkAfter is
still better. [note: is method(:func) always going to be better than
proc{func}?]

starting garbage collection manually with GC.start doesn't seem to make any
difference in this case.
