"most of the game state" is a few mb maximum. you don't need to copy
textures and other permanent game object descriptors which occupies
most part of those hundredths mbs

just an example from my own work: i wrote an archiver which may use,
say, 500 mb for storing list of million files. but the list itslef
occupies only ~10mb, so i can do all the forms of complex processing
without over-loading memory manager. each file descrption is 500 bytes
long, but this info isn't changed during program run
