What's the purpose of making such a comparison? The implication is that we're being wasteful, but I'm not certain that's the point you're trying to make.
That was close to my point. RAM prices are up 400% over last year. I know that 72KB seems like a pittance today, but any waste is bad -- especially in embedded environments.
I'm not really even saying this is wasteful. Maybe a static allocation would make more sense for critical exception handling code...
