   to the new size of your arena, then you will incur CPU costs   
   proportional to the square of your final arena size if you   
   resize many times.  This is a variation of the same problem   
   you're having now with invoking your tracing collector at a   
   constant number of allocated bytes.  It is much cheaper in   
   the long run to double the size of the memory arena each time   
   you run out of space - then you get costs linear with the size   
   of your final memory arena.
