Black art indeed... I did -hc, looked at the postscript generated from every
angle I could and it looks like this:

    /|    /|    /|
   / |   / |   / |
  /  |  /  |  /  |
 /   | /   | /   |
/    |/    |/    |

This is only xparse, other functions are unimportant and aren't even visible on
the graph.

My xparse allocates a lot of memory which is then almost all freed at the very
next occasion by GC. Seems I do not have space leaks.

The problem is that my prog allocates a lot just to free it immediatelly after.
But what?
