Nonsense, there are many worse things you could do. For example, you could allocate nodes with mmap, at 4KB per node. (Which is a thing I've actually done in the context of cursed bootstrap code where malloc isn't available and having more than a handful of (in that case doubly-linked-list) nodes means the environment is deranged anyway.)
