I suspect the memory was allocated for the '(+ 2), though without
knowing the implementation I don't know if that would be 128 bytes:

? (disassemble #'(lambda () (taup '(+ 2) nil)))
;;; #'(lambda () (taup '(+ 2) nil))
L0
     [0] (leaq (@ (:^ L0) (% rip)) (% fn))
     [7] (testl (% nargs) (% nargs))
     [9] (jne L49)
    [11] (pushq (% rbp))
    [12] (movq (% rsp) (% rbp))

;;; '(+ 2)
    [15] (movq (@ '(+ 2) (% fn)) (% arg_y))

;;; (taup '(+ 2) nil)
    [22] (movl ($ #x1300B) (% arg_z.l))
    [27] (movl ($ 16) (% nargs))
    [32] (movq (@ 'TAUP (% fn)) (% temp0))
    [39] (leaveq)
    [40] (jmpq (@ 10 (% temp0)))

;;; #<no source text>
L49
    [49] (uuo-error-wrong-number-of-args)
