[M3devel] Am I experiencing garbage collection?

I'm working on a pixel-based image edotor with variable-sized pixels.  
(That weirdness was the one of the simplest things that could possibly 
work for an esoteric application.)

I implemented mouse-tracking according to instructins in the Trestle 
manual, and it works, except for small gaps that occur every few 
seconds.  They correspond to mouse-deafness intervals of maybe a 
hundredth or a twentieth of a second or so.

But in the course of building my pizel map, I find myself allocating 
storage dynamically.  Could I be experiencing garbage-collection delays?
