I think it's a no-brainer that no functionality is worse than functionality 
with extra memory use in this specific case.  I would say go for it if it 
really helps real world pages.

  Don't do it for 3.1.1 then.  If you can keep the patches small and specific 
(so that one builds on another, etc), and test it on your local machine, then 
I can test it here as well for 3.1.2.  That should give you at least a month 
or so, probably more.
