A troll heals by continuously transforming into its form. Does this mean Hermione will never age, because she will always transform into a 12-year-old body? On the plus side, she wouldn't fear old age...

I don't there's a mention of trolls not aging.

I wonder if she will be able to sense all of Voldemort's horcruxes right away when she wakes up

Given that Voldemort doesn't know how many horcruxes he has, I don't think he senses all of the horcruxes.

And unless it has a limited store of energy, he will have defeated Death at that point.

Even without an unlimited store of energy it's not clear that the process is fast enough to keep 6 billion humans alive.

Can you count three-digit numbers easily?

Okay, now I want to read an Arithmancer/HPMoR crossover fic, wherein MathWiz!Hermione figures out the differential equations underlying the trolls’ constant self-transformation and then goes on to create a magical equivalent of genetically modified trolls …

ETA:

it's not clear that the process is fast enough to keep 6 billion humans alive.

In fact, it’s clear that the process is not fast enough: Search chapter 111 for mentions of the word “minutes”!

Yes, but she isn't a normal troll. Ah well, magic.
