I have thought about this before. Part of the problem is that freeze/thaw doesn't know about the packfile it is writing to, and so cannot make use of the constant table. To remedy this, we could increase the coupling between these, but there are some costs. One of the more important of these is that the format of frozen objects would no longer be the same inside pbc versus standalone. I'm not sure how valuable this property is.
