Re: Lua and custom memory allocators

Thanks Mike and Ivo. Vista allocator does seem acceptable. Running without 
the debugger attached as Ivo suggested reduced the first test to 26 seconds 
(from 3m20s) which is quite acceptable (fastmm is only a bit over twice the 
speed).

Learn something new everyday I guess. I wasn't aware that running with the 
debugger attached on a full release build would be any different to running 
it outside of an ide.

Try running the application without the debugger attached (Ctrl+F5 instead 
of F5). I noticed that if the debugger is present the OS uses a slower 
version of the heap. The difference is noticeable on XP, but is significant 
on Vista. If you run without a debugger and then attach, all is well.
