Re: Fragmentation

["Jim Mathies" <jamesmathies@...>]

I'm successfully using dlmalloc (Doug Lea's malloc) with Lua. on win32, it run's 40%+ faster
than the default malloc for windows. It has some nice reporting functions in debug mode.

| Perhaps dmalloc or similar can be helpful.

| http://dmalloc.com/docs/online/dmalloc_8.html#SEC8 : "*logging statistics* 
| One of the reasons why the debug malloc library was initially developed was
| to track programs' memory usage -- specifically to locate memory leaks which
| are places where allocated memory is never getting freed. See section 3.7.2
| Tracking Down Non-Freed Memory. The library has a number of logging
| capabilities that can track un-freed memory pointers as well as runtime memory usage,
| memory transactions, administrative actions, and final statistics."

| Not tested by myself.

| system.
