We do, and it seems to work fine. It took a bit of fiddling to get 
threading-related issues "mostly" safe without locks though.

The number of references doesn't seem to be as big a deal as the number 
of CallSite objects, but for a typical app like Rails after warmup we're 
still only using 55-60MB of heap. Just a lot of small objects.
