-Package: dbestfit - a dynamic best-fit memory allocator
-Date: 1996 - 2002
-Version: 3.3
-Author: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>

-
- I wrote the dmalloc part for small allocation sizes to improve the behavior
-of the built-in (first-fit) allocator found in pSOS, during late 1996 and
-spring 1997.
-
- I wrote the bmalloc part (best-fit with optional splay-tree sorting) just for
-the fun of it and to see how good malloc() implementation I could make. The
-quality of my implementation is still left to be judged in real-world tests.
-
-TODO:
- * Remove the final not-so-very-nice loop in dmalloc.c that checks for a block
- with free fragments (when the list gets longer too much time might be spent
- in that loop).
-
- * Make a separate application that samples the memory usage of a program
- and is capable of replaying it (in order to test properly).
