Consider how or if it makes sense to measure the effects of garbage compaction
Ruby 2.7 added the ability to compact the heap during garbage collection so that memory is less fragmented, thereby lowers the necessary memory for a program. I'm wondering if there is something we should tie into the gem around this?
It seems like this might be related to #1, but could be entirely separate.
Aaron Patterson's gist for visualizing the heap might be useful for learning what we can do.
