[ ... ]My problem is essentially that freeing large numbers of small chunks of memory can be very slow. I have run into this problem twice so far.
One solution would be to divide the memory in larger regions and to tell malloc which chunk to use for the next few calls, respectively when a whole chunk could be freed. But I don't know how to do this.
Consider using (or searching for information about) a zone-based malloc. NEXTSTEP used one and hence Darwin/OS X probably have sources available for you to consider...
