It is done by increase gfporder for low number to high(possibly 0 to

decrease the internal fragmentation?)
A simple example, suppose the slab management stuff is kept off-slab,
if the gfporder is zero, and the object size in slab is 1000, the
wasted space is 4096 mod 1000 = 96, but with 4096 * 2(increase
gfporder by 1), the space is 8192 mod 1000 = 192, 192 > 96.
You didn't simulate the algorithm long enough. If you had, you'd hit
order five which wastes only 72 bytes in your example.
