Comment (by igloo):

 It actually looks not far off linear:
 {{{
 # constants      peak heap usage      bytes allocated
 160               63874448             3193731536
 320               86003152             6609305256
 640              186134592            14211355072
 1280             <stack overflow>
 }}}
 and the heap usage is lower here than the heap profile showed.

 So I think that all we need to do here is make sure the testsuite test is
 OK.
