As per request (though admittedly belated ...):

Wouldn't it be sufficient (and faster and less memory consuming) to preload
only that part of the heaps that is indeed used (i.e., holds useful/relevant
data) instead of preloading the whole (possibly consciously over-allocated)
heaps?

I.e., replacing ...heap->size by ...heap->free

(as it was in the original code, only that the original code incorrecly
assumed ...heap->free to be an absolute address instead of a relative byte
offset ...)
