After taking a look at how the different MPMs are implemented, it appears that almost all of the MPMs create a bucket allocator and a transaction pool for each worker thread or process. The transaction pool is cleared after each request but the bucket allocator is not cleared or cleaned up until the worker thread or process goes away. Is there a reason why the bucket allocator is never cleaned up?
