+            heap checks when no allocation is being performed.  While this improves
+            binary sizes by about 5%, it also means that threads run in
+            tight non-allocating loops will not get preempted in a timely
+            fashion.  If it is important to always be able to interrupt such
+            threads, you should turn this optimization off.  Consider also
+            recompiling all libraries with this optimization turned off, if you
+            need to guarantee interruptibility.
