Re: [PATCH] Pools space-time tradeoff

I don't have any problems with this patch, but... isn't APR's pool
system doing way too much work? If I were implementing it, I would just
malloc() a new block for each apr_palloc(), chain it into a list, and
free() all those blocks when the pool is cleared or destroyed.

Presumably the extra work is for some theoretical or actual performance
gain, since Apache is very performance-sensitive. Have people actually
measured a performance benefit from the current code over the dumb
implementation?

(Apologies for, most likely, treading on well-trammeled ground.)
