Absolutely. But above 500 byte usage is one of hogger and uninlining is not critical about reclaim performance. So I think we don't get any lost than gain. But I don't get in a hurry. adhoc approach is not good. I hope when Mel tackles down consumption of stack in reclaim path, he modifies this part, too.
