I disagree.  If recusion is involved, even a few K may be unacceptable.
That can mean the difference between being able to recurse 500k times
and being able to recurse only 100k times.

I would think that, in the extreme, we don't want *any* stack 
expansion, but in the norm a percentage expansion.
