Subject: gh-120065: Increase `collect_in_thread` period to 5 ms. (#120068)
X-Git-Tag: v3.14.0a1~1591

gh-120065: Increase `collect_in_thread` period to 5 ms. (#120068)

This matches the default GIL switch interval. It greatly speeds up the
free-threaded build: previously, it spent nearly all its time in
`gc.collect()`.
