This weighs 65k per content process (ignoring the atoms themselves, which live in the binary). Static atoms also live in the main table, so I think the only reason this was added was to support off-main-thread static atom access for the HTML parser (bug 514661).

However, we now have a threadsafe atom table, and I'm making it faster in bug 1440824. I'll bet we can drop this table and replace the consumers with a special API that does lookups on the primary table.

Already filed as bug 529808. I have done various bits of prep work for this. It should be not too hard now.
