This would be good to resolve in 1.5.2. Has anyone else evaluated this? I'm suspicious of the use of a global pool in the reporter's patch vs. just using malloc() directly. I guess the reason for using the pool is that the allocator may have suitable buffers lying around, but you need one for the pool and one for the structure instead of just getting one from malloc(). I haven't tried any performance tests yet.
