A prefix's row of paths is given room for as many paths as there are
peers, and from there grows by a quarter at a time, one path at a time
while it is short. A peer sending every path it has (ADD-PATH) gives a
prefix several paths from one peer, so a row goes past the peers' count
from the first few routes and was then reallocated for each path.
A row shorter than the first allocation's room doubles instead, and
grows by a quarter only from there. Measured on the mesh benchmark, the
reallocations in the table's insert path fall by half; the memory held
is as before, as the rows that reach the quarter-growth are the ones
that were already allocated for it.
