As mentioned already I think, see Stephen Pair's 'Chango' - look on the 
swiki.

I've never yet seen a paper that made me think it had made a convincing 
case for any sort of paging being a benefit to garbage collection. It 
adds complexity, rarely saves time and often has loopholes. Worse, if 
the subject OS does paging for virtual memory it's almost certain that 
it will mess up any attempt at object related paging.

If you can come up with some technique that _does_ work, I'll be near 
the head of the line to congratulate you.
