From Andrew McCreight

> The type is either compartmental or global. A compartmental GC is run when you are doing a very JS heavy thing in one tab. They can be much faster, because they only look at the stuff for one tab, basically. They are generally very rare right now, except in special situations like running a JS-intensive demo. That would be good to track, because you could imagine adding a particular demo to some regression testing suite, and if it went from doing a lot of compartmental GCs to doing a lot of global GCs, that's bad.
