>> This fix addresses the issue where gc-efficiency is printed incorrectly when logging post-marking and post-cleanup. The gc-efficiency is calculated in the end of the marking phase, to be logged in the post-cleanup section. It is however not reset, meaning that next phase's post-marking log will show the old value.
