I don't buy the first part. The number of things invalidating memory
has nothing to do with the size of the block. It has to do with
whatever your program does.
Well, sure, but, roughly speaking, the incidence of *any* particular
thing in the code is linear in the size of the block.
This wasn't put in for "theoretical" reasons. As I said, we had a program
that took hours to compile.
