Quote: segmentation works poorly for Smalltalk because of object sizes from 25 bytes to 128K bytes and 32-64K objects

Note

Segmentation causes trouble for Smalltalk type systems because of wide range in object size (24 bytes for points to 128,000 bytes for bitmaps) with an average of 50; many (32,000-64,000) objects that require a large segment table.
