Nicely put :)
But really, it boils down to simple math: fewer operations per alloc/free request. I just pre-allocate, create a linked list, and serve from it. brain-dead simple. needless to say, I wouldn't use it in production unless I refine it. And obviously, is far from being called "memory allocator" Is a simple cache
