I haven't been following these changes, but if it "requires enabling"
on account of such an inconsequential amount of memory, I would agree
that it should be enabled by default.

After all, I assume the memory was *already* used for the frame before
it was deleted, so all that's happening is that it's not being released
when the frame is deleted (but held until such time as another frame is
subsequently deleted IIUC).

I can't imagine it being worth making the UI clunkier (and likely
preventing many users from getting the benefit of the feature the
very first time they actually need it) for that reason.
