OK thanks - indeed that gets our objects down to about the same size (still
about 5% larger).

Is the 50% size penalty going to continue into the future? We have an
exception emulation (setjmp/longjmp, keeping classes derived from "Cleanup"
in a list) that we'd dearly like to get rid of, but 50% is a fairly steep
price to pay.
