I wonder just how unreasonable it would be to do some bandwidth
minimization (approximately - minimize the sum of distances between
connected nodes) on the object graph. I read about a heuristic that
generally works in O(n), worst case (n^3)...

Order them nicely, translate the pointers to be relative, and hope you
get an improvement better than 2% for your trouble... ;-)
