I was going to say the same thing myself and even planned to do a test. My
profiles show the top hits being getmem/freemem which really don’t need to be
there.
There’s no reason to be allocating and freeing nodes (for example) over and
over again when we could just allocate a large pool at startup and return to
the pool instead of freeing. It would make the compiler utilize more memory but
that’s a good trade off for me personally. This is especially a good idea
because the compiler is a one pass program so leaks over the long term aren’t a
problem.
