Sounds like its time to drop it then!
I know this is *slightly* off topic, but can we consider dropping GSlice
too? Last I asked around it sounded like it was required on Windows for
older systems that had an atrocious malloc implementation.
On a modern GNU/Linux, glibc's malloc uses both less memory than GSlice
and is significantly faster (and doesn't screw up gdb). I did a bunch of
benchmarks[1] on this last year at the Berlin hackfest.
I'd love to hear from the GStreamer folks on all of this anyway, since I
believe they are likely the heaviest user of GLib+win32.
