Right.

This is being addressed in the "compactsentry" branch by moving the
policy data back "inline", along with most other "static" information
referenced by the store entries. The use of chunked_mempools will reduce
the need of doing this somewhat (no malloc overhead) but still it is
worthwile I think.
