One feature I have often wanted is, essentially, shell's "exec".  You
could then get the effect you want with (exec "emacs").  In
combination with the saveconf package, this would let you recover
memory dellocated within emacs but still in your address space.  In a
shared-executable/pure space world, this should be pretty fast.

Doing it the way you suggest, however, is probably much harder, though
perhaps more efficient.  Think about user rebindings of pure-space
lisp functions, for example.  Hacking in the exec function ought to be
an hour's work...
