I'm not sure that's true at least for the P2P case. With P2P we are able
to allocate one continuous region of memory for each transaction. It
would be quite weird to allocate multiple regions for a single transaction.

Ok, that would mirror what we did for the block layer. I'll look at
doing something like that in the near future.
