More than that, I create a new buffer on all invocations of
`compile' or `grep' with

  (setq compilation-buffer-name-function
        (lambda (mode-name)
          (generate-new-buffer-name
           (concat "*" (downcase mode-name) "*"))))

and have absolutely no problems with a large number of buffers.

OTOH, I think as the default behavior this is not too nice,
so better would be to keep the previous content in strings
accessible for navigation with `l' or from the window-local tab-bar.
