It governs how often garbage collector is run to release empty leaves 
and branches. Of course it has an effect on the current memory usage.

Just a clarification here. 

What I understand is, If I don't have entries with --timeout values in
iptreemap (as currently --timeout is not supported in iptreemap), do we
really need --gc ? Can't we do it on ADD/UPDATE/DELETE/FLUSH events on set ?

Rgds,
