Okay, so this is what I tried:

I bootstrapped two Emacs from current master (7be66d8223e) one
--with-native-compilation=yes the other --with-native-compilation=no and
boths with Gerd patch applied.

Also I checkout current scratch/igc (2343d55dff4) to get igc.org.

I then tried to run with boths native/non-native emacsen with:

.../src/emacs -eval '(setq garbage-collection-messages t)' -Q ~/emacs4/admin/igc.org


Once started looking in *Messages* I see 7 GC cycles in the the
non-native build and 5 in the native one, also I can scroll without
issues or other GC cycles.

Note that only during the first start the native copiled Emacs did a
number of GC cycles more to jit some code but I guess that's expected.

Am I trying to repruduce this correctly?

Thanks

  Andrea
