I am using sun common lisp 4.0 on sunworkstation (sunos 4.1.3)

I am getting this message when I plot binarization picture.

drawing picture seems very slow, and I think memory allocation is
the problem.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
At least how to disable 'GC" or what does 'GC' mean?

Thanks in advance
