Issue #4074: Change the criteria for doing a full garbage collection (i.e.
collecting the oldest generation) so that allocating lots of objects without
destroying them does not show quadratic performance. Based on a proposal by
Martin von Löwis at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html.
