Sounds like an interesting idea, but what heuristic would you use?
When everything is smooth, the running time decreases something like
exponentially with the minor heap size, so you'd always want to
increase the size.  How do you tell when to stop?  And then, if the
program is not behaving uniformly, when do you decide to reduce
the size?
