Hmmm... I wonder what the Mach kernel in OSX does to allocate memory

what it does.

Following the link chain from the benchmark link posted in this thread
I've come to the information that it's similar to -CURRENT: small
allocations are carved from the local pool, big ones from prezeroed
pages (from kernel).



Do you know if that's with malloc or calloc? What portion of the source 
demonstrates this?
