   The first answer to your question is, "How much overhead do you
want to allow?"   See 13.3(59..67): T'Storage_Size is
allowed to use more memory than you require, but on most
implementations, if you request a small task size you will get
approximately that size.

   Also see C.7.2 Task_Attributes.  This allows you to allocate per
task attributes neatly and cleanly when you have dozens of different
task types.
