* - Run a garbage collection cycle
* - Try and compress fragmented allocations
* - Exit on idle if the process has no reason to stay around
* - Call [`malloc_trim(3)`](man:malloc_trim) to return cached heap pages to
* the kernel (if supported by your libc)
*
* Note that some actions may not always improve system performance, and so
* should be profiled for your application. `malloc_trim()`, for example, may
* make future heap allocations slower (due to releasing cached heap pages back
* to the kernel).
*
* See #GMemoryMonitorWarningLevel for details on the various warning levels.
