=head1 NAME

examples/benchmarks/stress3.pasm - GC stress-testing

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    % time ./parrot examples/benchmarks/stress3.pasm

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Creates a lot of PMCs, and then prints out some statistics indicating:

=over 4

=item * the total number of GC runs made

=item * the number of active PMCs

=item * the total number of PMC created

=back

Note that a command-line argument of 1 is supposed to cause the PMCs to
be destroyed before a 2nd loop is run. However, this seems to be broken
at the moment:

    FixedPMCArray: Entry not an integer!
