... OTOH, I wonder whether the 64 byte limit is a bit small.

I've said several times that I intend to boost it. Python has changed in relevant ways since obmalloc.c was written, from GC adding 12 bytes to various things, to dicts growing to such an extent that pymalloc can never handle a dict request on its own now.
