in a real-world environment, it'd probably make sense (and add to
performance), provided the amount of physical ram is tuned accordingly.

in terms of testing such a change with polygraph, i doubt it'd make any
difference.
we see <3% in-memory-hits with 2gb of in-memory "hot" objects with
polygraph, when in a customer deployment, this is >55% of hits are served from.

you need to have a _very_ good malloc library to handle the in-core memory
allocations/deallocations.
