You know about the needs of your system better than I, however
usually the objects referenced by code (bytecode) are literal
objects, constants, or persistent objects like classes and other
"system objects.  That being the case, all of theses object can be
separated in memory (put in the old old memory) so that they don't
need to be GCed or even recognized my the GC.

Just something to consider.

Good luck!
