Our friend malloc(3) allocates buffers that are 2 word aligned.

Therefore:

1 word allocates use 2 words.
2 word allocates use 4 words.
3 word allocates use 4 words
4 word allocates use 6 words, etc.
(The overhead word (that describes the length) is odd word aligned)


Therefore it would be nice if Judy had option for 2 word Values and
not more.  The cost of memory that malloc uses does not
justify a larger Value area.


But internally, Judy uses pointers and Values interchangeably.
This would require extensive changes to the code.  I am not
sure the cost justifies the return.

Thanks for your interest,
