First, we had changes committed lately that save much less than that
(FWIW, I support them). The memory size is large nowadays, but it's
all taken by programs that have even larger memory footprint.
More importantly, I think the issue here is that the numbers I
presented indicate that there's something wrong with the way we
compute PURESIZE, because on some hosts it seems to be exactly right,
while on others it wastes a lot of memory.

PURESIZE is a compile-time C constant, it cannot be changed at dump
time. You need to recompile.
