I did an 'Smalltalk allClasses collect:[:cl | cl -> cl allInstances
size]' before starting a load and right after a load that just does not
crash the image. I noticed the following number of new instances that
were still being referenced (i.e. not garbage collected).
The following lists the number of _added_ instances during the load with
the largest first. I include all of them but some are obviously more
indicative than others.
