Comment:
I still don't have a clear idea what it is you want to do.
I think you want to turn off updates for certain thunks, based on some
metrics (or profile-directed feedback?). I pointed out that disabling
thunk update might actually cause a space leak, because the free variables
of the thunk have to be retained. Also you don't explain how you're going
to decide which thunks should have update disabled.
I think probably a ticket is not the right place for this discussion - a
wiki page might be better?
