[Kelvin Nilsen]

> This PR describes several proposed changes to dynamically adjust the sizes of old-gen and young-gen.  In general, the objective is to keep old-gen as small as possible so that there is an abundance of memory available for the young-gen allocation runway.

> This PR now passes all GHA pre-integration tests and other internal CI tests.
