The more you don't collect, the more time it takes time to collect; thus, you may want to configure GC to do it's job more often so it doesn't stop significantly, and also manually trigger collection where appropriate...
Maybe that is true for the current collector since it does finalization, but in general it is the live objects that dominates collection time, not the dead object. Though you might get some other issues like memory fragmentation if you don't collect.
