I'm not talking about interruptions on allocations, but deallocations.

You never know when GC fires - starts harvesting for memory locations that need to be freed and frees them.

With Gargage collection, there are ni deallocations.

Also, garbage collection does not "harvest for memory locations that need to be freed and frees them.". Garbage collection does not collect garbage, it collects used space.
