For example, mark time will be slow if there's a lot of total memory to be scanned. Sweep time will be slow if there are a lot of blocks allocated, even if they're all small. I'm not sure if this is feasible, though, because it assumes that the GC implementation is mark-sweep. I guess we could name the subcategories something more generic like mark and process marks.

Including/excluding possible locks. A precise garbage collector might have to do extra book keeping affecting overall performance. Running this precise GC https://github.com/rainers/druntime/tree/precise_gc2 against the benchmark https://github.com/rainers/druntime/blob/precise_gc2/benchmark/gcbench/tree1.d shows that it is about 20% slower than the conservative GC, most of the extra time eaten during allocation.
