BTW are there some measurements if sizeof (type / main_type / field) matters?

FYI I found (on Firefox) the difference of reading full symbols for this
command `thread apply all bt full' is:
valgrind --tool=massif:
mem_heap_B=393798138
mem_heap_B=395820353
== 2MB == only 0.5% size increase (by the attached patch if it is right)

Just `thread apply all bt full' may not be the typical debugging session,
a more representative application / command set would be useful.
