Description

Seems like this could reduce GC latency since we want the data to be ignored for the purposes of GC.

Research direction

Start by locating the in-memory database implementation and reading how its data is allocated and handled by garbage collection. Confirm whether a compact region is appropriate for this data and how GC latency would be measured. Done means the database uses the compact-region approach safely and the relevant latency behavior is verified.
