If at all that is due to memory fragmentization which should not occur in this 
context as the QString data will be put into consecutive memory segments as 
far as I know. Freeing that up should also make the space available 
immediately. I still don't see how this would be an issue here.

Anyhow, this discussion is rather moot imo. Someone should try it out if we 
don't find a better solution and see whether it acutally is so bad as you make 
it sound like...
