I noticed that loading the x509 system roots and parsing their certificates on Linux takes 526kB of memory.

(by making an HTTPS request for the side-effect of loading them: https://play.golang.org/p/re1rB_Ui1nS then hitting pprof)

I suspect have common subfields that might be able to share memory? Or does our super transparent representation preclude that?

GitHub won't let me upload an SVG, so:
