This month [hurd hacker] [item]
+*IRC 2011-11-14*
+rbraun committed the last patch to mplanetas branch of the slab allocator work, for integration.
+Features:
+22:30:39) braunr: there shouldn't be any noticeable difference with the master branch
+(22:30:46) braunr: a bit less fragmentation
+(22:30:55) braunr: more memory can be reclaimed by the VM system
+(22:31:02) braunr: there are debugging features
+(22:31:06) braunr: it's SMP ready
+(22:31:15) braunr: and overall cleaner than the zone allocator
+(22:31:31) braunr: although a bit slower on the free path (because of what's performed to reduce fragmentation)
+22:32:42) braunr: but even "slower" here is completely negligible
