Lorenz Quack commented on QPID-6662:
------------------------------------

Today, I stumbled over the QpidByteBuffer#allocateDirectFromPool().
I find the name a bit unfortunate because:
* It might not allocate from a pool (if size > maxPooledBufferSize)
* QpidByteBuffer#allocateDirect() may allocate from a pool as well.
* It does not describe what the method is about (slicing a larger buffer to 
efficiently handle smaller allocations)

IMHO, the method should go away and its functionality should be handled 
transparently by QpidByteBuffer#allocateDirect(). There could be a threshold 
(e.g., 0.25 * _maxPooledBufferSize) and for calls smaller than that it could 
use a cached slicing buffer and for larger ones it could keep its current 
behaviour.

> To improve performance of the Broker, direct ByteBuffers should be passed 
> from the transport directly to the store, minimising copying whenever 
> possible, and vice versa.
