To get a feel for how much chunkification is costing, I ran (most of
the benchmarks) in the old "one chunk" mode, where the entire program
is in one C chunk. The numbers show that chunkification is still
costing (esp. in knuth-bendix, lexgen and logic). Furthermore these
differences underestimate the costs of chunkification, since returns
always do a trampoline, even in the one chunk case.
