Presumably you still leak individual pages if you have stuck stack pointers though?

I guess around turns of the event loop you can probably get precise compaction though, since nothing's on the stack.

Edit: I didn't think that it was correct that all production-quality semispaces are scattered throughout the address space and indeed it's not (though I probably misunderstood you): SpiderMonkey uses a contiguous-in-memory nursery.
