I do, in fact, have time to mentor such a project, and would be happy to mentor it if you submit it and it is accepted. My thoughts are along the lines of Daniel's. I originally believed that the better data layout of lifetime and object specific pools would help, but it only helps about 10% in the extreme. GC work is most certainly helpful. Exploring generational collection (even if it turned out to be a complete wash) would be a great project as well if you wanted to attempt that. though trying boehm-gc is a good project too.
