Yes. > or does it use the > // real memory that is allocated in the parent 'pool'? No, although we could probably code that up, with the sidenote that moving a child pool to a different parent is impossible to implement thereafter. > Does it only request memory from > // the system if the parent pool requires it. It only requests memory when the allocator associated with the pool requires it. Parent and child pools don't neccessarily share the same allocator. Sander
