Reviewers: Mads Ager, Christian Plesner Hansen, Vitaly, Message: Guys, I felt a victim of the well-known decease---I cannot reproduce the boost I saw before. Chances are it's due to amount of physical memory I have (I am not sure I need to swap out a thing). Need some more time to see if I can repeat the speedup. Sorry for bothering you.
Description: After performing scavenge, hint OS that data in from spaces are no more needed, so there is no need to swap it out---they might be just discarded. Currently implemented only for Windows. Should be easy to port to other OSes using madvise, but needs additional measurements.
