Off the top of my head, I was wondering... for software like web services, isn't it easier and faster to use a bump allocator per request, and release the whole block at the end of it? Assuming the number of concurrent requests/memory usage is known and you don't expect any massive spike.
I am working on an actor language kernel, and was thinking of adopting the same strategy, i.e. using a very naive bump allocator per actor, with the idea that many actors die pretty quickly so you don't have to pay for the cost of GC most of the time. You can run the GC after a certain threshold of memory usage.
