 The data gets eventually collected (the memory is never returned to
 the OS, as a collect wont reduce the RSS, but the memory is free: if
 you allocate 8 megs of data after the collect, the RSS will stay the

+I have a patch that implements my proposed solution.
+
+With the patch, now the stream is backed by mmap, and only those
+pieces touched are loaded into memory, and the OS can discard the code
+in memory if it needs the space.  No copies are done of the data.
