Hmm, it's not that expensive.

  guile> (time (do ((n 5000 (1- n))
                    (list '() (cons (make-vector 512 #f) list)))
                   ((< n 0) #f)))
  clock utime stime cutime cstime gc
  0.69  0.68  0.01  0      0      0.6
  #f

My idea could waste a lot of memory, but it won't be a problem.
Okay, I'll try to implement this idea.
