> I don't see it scaling well to large workloads either. Imagine a database server with hundreds of GB of memory mapped into the process, no way that you want to sweep through all the pointers in that either. And even if you do it in the background concurrently, you will eat a lot of memory bandwidth, and you risk falling behind.

Then you're using the wrong database server :-)
