I can only guess that this:

        * kernel/LookupTable.st: Remove values instance variable,
        store key/value pairs in adjacent slots.

was a bad idea.

But, the garbage collection still puzzles me.

Can you try adding a _gst_show_backtrace(stdout) in _gst_global_gc and
see what is printed?

Alternatively, I see you also have OrderedCollection in Session for the
per-widget Action registries.  Can you test the performance of
Dictionary vs. LookupTable there, too?
