User data can point to anything BUT static data.
If userData points to pfMemory, we can reference count
it and delete it when you delete nodes and the reference count goes to 0.
Also, if it is pfMemory, it can be saved to a file and reloaded if you are using
the new fast-loading pfb loader since you can get the size of it.
