Eh... Vlad...
On the Mac the nedmalloc outperforms the standard allocator
about 25 - 30 times! The same with the zippy.
All tested with the supplied test program.
I yet have to get real app tested...
On other platforms (Linux, Solaris) yes, I can stay
with the standard allocator. As the matter of fact,
they are close to the nedmalloc +/- about 10-30%
(in favour of nedmalloc, except on Sun/sparc).
One shoe does not fit all, unfortunately...
What I absolutely do not understand is: WHY?
I mean, why I get 30 times difference!? It just
makes no sense, but it is really true.
I am absolutely confused :-((
