It appeared to me after collecting some stats about the functions present in the regression tests that for larger functions, the extra space eaten is just some small multiple (like 2x-3x) of the function body string length. So it's not *that* much data, even for big functions, and it's only going to be eaten on the first usage of a function within a session.
I wonder if freeing that memory would help speed up further allocations, and how much of the expense of the final free for the context gets reduced by an early reset. Probably not enough to negate the cost of resetting on every call though...
