That's probably true...

We could make the hashtables shrink, not just grow...
There's also the issue that most people, I assume, run CCA tests with -O0. In
a quick test that does make a big difference in e.g. ResetCatalogCache(). I
just added a function specific annotation to optimize just that function and
the overall time in my test shrank 10% or so.
