It takes around 100 ms and less than 1 MB to build a table up to 20 rather than 29. It can be fully constructed in `static { ... }`, avoiding races. IMO, this would cover the vast majority of the cases encountered in practice. Other, way less common usages with multi-millions or billions of digits would then impact running time but not _persistent_ memory footprint.
