          Hardware: All

            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

Caging strings only protects us from string-based read gadgets.  It's also a slow-down on some benchmarks and a memory use regression.  The benefit/cost isn't big enough to keep this around so we should go back to allocating strings the normal way.
