Raffaele P. Guidi commented on DIRECTMEMORY-40:
-----------------------------------------------

Also, about this:

"I found more natural to have 2 list of pointers"

it used to be like this a long time ago but then I realized that moving 
pointers from a list to another should be "transactional" (not literally, of 
course) and also causes a lot of garbage collection. Having switched to a 
single list approach - with josql on top of it (select * from pointer where 
free=true) feels pretty natural and solves both problems
                
> Pointers merging with adjacent free pointers when freeing.

> If one allocates lot of small objects till the buffer is full, and then free 
> those objects, pointers are never merged together to allow further creation 
> of bigger objects.
