Ah, I was curious if anyone else was using Judy this way. I have been
using Judy arrays to store all the GC meta info for my jhc compiler
and it works really well. Although I no longer depend on it in the
default case, I turn it on for debugging and tracking allocations and
I found it very useful when prototyping new algorithms without having
to modify the heap layout of my run-time. I just store the meta
information in judy arrays and profiling and tracing will help me
decide whether implementing the change for real is worth it.
