I agree that the performance gains are iffy, and would like to see some
measurements here.
If it's any consolation, in some cases the new MAX_ALLOCA checking is
optimized away. For example, other_buffer_safely calls
build_local_string twice, both with constant literals, and in both cases
my compiler (GCC 4.9.1 x86-64) deduces that there's no need to check for
MAX_ALLOCA, and generates code that creates the Lisp string on the stack
unconditionally.
