Yep.  But the reason it's slow is that Tahoe does the checks at a very low
rate, in order to avoid interfering with any other processing.  The checks
require very little I/O or CPU, but it was found that running them at full
speed caused short but painful slowdowns.  So instead the checks are
throttled to a very low rate.

Nope.  GC will just run less often -- which is fine, frankly.  It could
really run once a week or even less unless your server is close to full.
 And if it's close to fully you likely have bigger problems.
