I don't think savepoints ever did any cacheGC calls.  It's up to you to do that
if you want.  Savepoints only allow removal of modified objects from
memory (as they're saved in temporary storage).

If you aren't writing data, savepoints don't buy you anything and you
should simply call cacheGC yourself periodically.
