The garbage collector now includes non-heap sources of garbage collector work
(e.g., stack scanning) when determining how frequently to run. As a result,
garbage collector overhead is more predictable when these sources are
significant. For most applications these changes will be negligible; however,
some Go applications may now use less memory and spend more time on garbage
collection, or vice versa, than before. The intended workaround is to tweak
<code>GOGC</code> where necessary.

The runtime now returns memory to the operating system more efficiently and has
been tuned to work more aggressively as a result.
