It increases the storage requirements for bjam rule parameters from 
9*sizeof(pointer) to 19*sizeof(pointer) for the memory allocation 
associated with each bjam rule invocation stack frame.

It adds slight overhead when parsing rule text to find parameters $(10) 
through $(19).

I expect the effects of either to be quite small.
