I could be way wrong, but I would think that a database might mmap discontiguous segments of memory. Perhaps someone familiar with mysql/postgres/others might know if they would be a good benchmark. Actually, relating to this, didn't phk request a VM function which would remap a page (or contiguous segment of pages) to a new address which had free space after it? I believe that he needed such a feature to turbocharge realloc(). It sounds like the freelist mode of operation would make that more feasible.
