Though the current image does not use large WeakIdentityKeyDictionaries,
heavy use of the new events system or other code needing large
registries could benefit from this.

The downside for small dictionaries is a single comparison of the size
with 4096 per access. This is more than made up for by speed increases
on big dictionaries.

I think this is worth it.
