Too much the coward for either option. BTW, at line 1154 of the file
apropos.el is a brief comment "permit gc", which might indicate that
this was a known issue at some point. The way that package uses variable
`apropos-accumulator' seems all wrong, creating it as a global and then
manually unsetting it; seems to me it should be locally scoped and
passed as an argument when necessary.
