I'm not sure its worth having a CONFIG_ value for this, that'll just be
yet another random value nobody knows what to do with.

Do you actually have a machine that reproduces this? Can you see how
many classes, avg stacktraces per class and the avg entries per
stacktrace there are?

Also, is there's lots of classes, are there many with a similar name?

That is, is it a valid depletion or is there something wonkey with those
setups?
