I think you should be able to buy yourself some megabytes
if you combine your .sources and your .changes file into one single file.
As the documentation in CompiledMethod>>#sourcePointer points
out it is the responsability of the concrete SourceFileArray
implementation to interpret the sourcePointer and itself has
a range of: 67108863.
Maybe it would be doable to word-align all sourcePointers and
then shift them by -2 bits.
The drawback in both cases is that you have to rewrite all sourcePointers
and i don't see any tool support for that.

HTH,
