Comment (by niteria):

 > Shouldn't the size adapt somehow? What if there are more faststrings in
 some later, bigger program? Won't this just happen again?

 Yes, probably, but the flexibility may come at a cost. I don't have a
 solution yet, that's why this is a ticket and not a phabricator patch. I
 also don't expect to be able to focus on this in the near future.
