Reduce the memory requirement for large ispell dictionaries.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Reduce the memory requirement for large ispell dictionaries. This patch eliminates per-chunk palloc overhead for most small allocations needed in the representation of an ispell dictionary. This saves close to a factor of 2 on the current Czech ispell data. While it doesn't cover every last small allocation in the ispell code, we are at the point of diminishing returns, because about 95% of the allocations are covered already. Pavel Stehule, rather heavily revised by Tom
