Design a "pointer predictor", which for a given pointer predicts where it will lead to. I would guess there are many arrays of identical structures, so predicting any given pointer value ought to be doable. The predictor could be as simple as "This object has patterns of pointers very similar to this other object, so use those instead"
Then replace each pointer with a single bit saying "the predictor is right" or "the predictor is wrong, use an alternative pointer stored in an external table".
Similar ideas were proposed for the memory compression, exploiting a fact that most allocations in typical applications are object-like. See for example [1] (HN discussion: [2]).
