I think we're tackling this from the wrong angle. GCC uses about
3 to 4 times as much memory as it needs to, really, and our garbage
collector touches too many pages. That combination is what it causing
a lot of the problems, in my profiling. I know how to fix these
problems, I think, and I expect to start working on them soonish.
Anyhow, I guess I think we've done enough for now.
