This question is largely ill-posed: would you really care if Emacs once in
a blue moon returns 4KB out of a 2GB heap?
The answer depends on a lot of details about the system, the
compile-time options used, and the specific usage pattern.
And in my experience, in the end it never really matters anyway.
