This is one of those things where I always have to restrain myself and
meditate to the Knuth mantra: "Premature optimization is the root of all
evil". Before going through the pain of doing something like that I
would wait until it is a real problem and then try to use a different
memory manager like for example Hoard (http://www.hoard.org/) and see if
that fixes it.
Just my $.02
