Reminds me of an "interesting" but mostly useless idea I had... to speed up orderly process termination on Linux, monkeypatch free() (I'm thonking of messing with symbol resolution, better than adding a conditional in the hot path) to do nothing during exit. Problem is, it's already quite fast and no one cares. There are some potential problems with that but why attack them if no one needs the feature?
