The tradeoff is speed vs memory usage. The medium grain memory policy
is a bit more conservative, and it's a bit of a less radical departure
from the days of MemoryPolicy.

No. However, I'd be interested to know if you see much of a difference
between 1 or 3 invocations. Of course I can do something that does
effectively three invocations per primitive call, but I'm assuming
that's not what you're looking for. How is this an issue for you?

What kinds of improvements do you have in mind?
Andres.
