Um. We use pools in Subversion and free the memory all the time. The key is
the use of subpools. I added some notes about our experiences at the end of
this document:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/apr-serf/docs/roadmap.txt?rev=1.3
Note that pools can also be configured to not have a per-thread lock.

Sure. Although I'm a bit unclear on how it differs from using, say,
apr_pool_destroy on a subpool to toss intermediate memory.
