That is my impression as well, but beware that BumpPtrAllocator has many users, 
and a they are generally more performance-sensitive and better tuned than lldb, 
so it may turn out that this value actually *is* the sweet spot for something. 
Nevertheless, I think it's worth asking around or trying to send a patch.

However, independently of that, I think it would make sense to raise the 
initial allocation size in ConstString somewhat (just not straight to 1 (256) 
meg).
