I do do this with Delphi,

Only for testing, of course. I have but the old free Turbo Delphi. ;-)
AFAIK there is a page on this in the Lazarus Wiki.
Is this what you're thinking of, or is there more that I've so far
overlooked?

Yep.
My colleagues who are very professional Delphi programmers, very happily
use this with Delphi:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fastmm/
This memory manager makes many Delphi applications a lot faster (it
manages short, medium and big chunks separately, for "short" it
allocates a pool of memory blocks of equal size that can be found by
multiplying the number by a constant instead of walking a linked list).
Moreover it allows for tracing and synchronizes DLL and main application
memory managers.
I don't know if/how it can be used with Lazarus.
Thanks, I'll bear all of this in mind. I've also seen discussion and an
example from a Metatrader forum.
I'm slowly working towards a novel collaborative dedevelopment app, and
if there's a "root" manager coordinating overall work then it seems
reasonable that he should have the ability to tweak "leaf" workers apps-
for example to add a new context-sensitive highlight. If that can be
done without everybody having to interrupt their session, possibly
losing state, so much the better.
/If/ I decide to play with this, then I've got the choice of either
waiting until I rough out the collaborative stuff, or trying it in one
of the interim apps that I'm using to test techniques. I'll either be
asking for help, or reporting stunning success :-)
