Well, in my case, I often start swapping, which kills codegen
performance. So it would help my particular use case. (It would also
help us land the GC.)

A new snapshot would also help with that, IIRC peak memory usage has
dropped by about 1GB since the last one was made. Not sure how much of a
difference that makes for you, though.

Yes. I've been trying to knock down the worst of the culprits in order to land the GC, making decent progress. We can get through 64bit bootstrapping, and 32bit is now able to get through libstd and libsyntax, but it dies OOM on librustc. So Patrick's suggestion would help here.

(Much of the remainder is GC accounting structures, though; which is too absurd to be real. I'm sure there are some bad overuse bugs lurking in there too. And I have a replacement bitmap that almost works too.)
