That's a possibility as well. And the code is already largely available, in
Squeak Webserver (should've thought of that)

I think you could come a long way here by trying to make sure that objects
are allocated close to each other, etcetera. Some generational GC tricks may
help as well. But yes, the problem is a bit hard and maybe we should just sit

thing.
