Plea for benchmarks

I'm doing research in memory management and garbage collection, and in
particular what to do with objects that survive generational
collection, but indeed die later in the program.

I'm trying to find programs to use as benchmarks that actually have
live data larger than the small generation, about 40kb absolute
minimum.  If you have Self programs that drive the garbage collector
batty and not just the scavenger, I'd like to talk with you about
them.  Thanks
