 * ML heap usage and stored heap size has been significantly reduced,
-especially for applications with a lot of definitions in a 'locale' or
-'class' context. The shrink factor is usually in the range 1.1 .. 2.0,
-but a factor 3 .. 10 has been seen in unusual situations. This often
-allows big applications to return to the "small" 64_32 memory model with
-its hard limit of 16 GiB, and thus reduce the heap size by another
-factor 1.8.
