I saw that method, and I saw that it returned the base address of a Pool. >From the name, fields, and Gcx invocation, I guessed that Pool represented a bundle of multiple values. It's got about ten or twelve words of overhead, which would be a bit heavy to have one for each allocated object. (And that's on top of the bookkeeping malloc has to do, since the GC uses malloc under the hood.) Or maybe it's just got that much overhead.
