Actually the thing I found the most interesting is that it suggests to
use page-aware object placements so that big structures traversal is
easier on the VM. Could it be useful to adopt that for some of our
low-level indexes? We do have a few hashes and trees laying around
which maybe could benefit from this; and adopting an alternate
algorithm for those may not have a big impact code-wise..
