Is this really the best way to do this?

Can't we create a subpool here? (Or do we also need multiple allocators, etc.)

In the implementation I see that the existing pools are re-used, but they are not *cleared* before re-use?

Shouldn't we at least release the used memory (and thate) when handing back the memory to the pool allocator?
