The "absolute" was the char[] size, which I had set to ~1MB back in the day. Subsequent use of STL string type does support any memory-fitting string.

But 3MB uncompressed string data does not seem to be so big in absolute
terms, or are you referring to something else (I got this number from
the long pages special)? Parsing a 3MB string may need some extra
memory, but the data you get in the end should not be much bigger than
the original string, or should it?
