Someone hit me with a spoon.

This seems odd.

I'll fix some of these in a followup patch.  I'm not that inclined to improve the NEWXML at the moment.

Adam, thank you for deploying this widely, it is gonna help me a lot to track our memory.

All those static strings make me wonder if that is causing some of the memory behaviors we have. Once the StringImpl is created in a page, we can no longer give that page back to the system. :(

Maybe we should have some dense memory area just for things like these. It's something we should measure...

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
