I was using setSize(), but I've switched to setHistorySize(). I don't know 
what you mean by "pass it to BlockArray". The BlockArray ctor doesn't take 
any arguments.

The problem was that, given how lines are added by the history mechanism and 
how I've wrapped BlockArray to fit that, you simply use one block per line. 
And a block is way larger than a regular line. Anyway, the version 3 of my 
patch (still held by kde-core AFAICT) lets you set the nb of lines.
