Found a nice writeup on avoiding triggering Go's Garbage Collector when storing a huge set of strings.

Kinda reminds me of Carmack's Megatexture approach, where all the textures on the map are baked into a large blob that is then fed into the GPU memory, and addressed by offset basically. Nice hack.

@a1ba To be fair, you'd only need this on very specific loads, like caches and such.

@a1ba Unless you're storing huge amounts of pointer-bound data at the same time, GC in Go is generally not a problem.
