Log Message:
-----------
Modify local buffer management to request memory for local buffers in blocks
of increasing size, instead of one at a time. This reduces the memory
management overhead when num_temp_buffers is large: in the previous coding
we would actually waste 50% of the space used for temp buffers, because aset.c
would round the individual requests up to 16K. Problem noted while studying
a performance issue reported by Steven Flatt.
Back-patch as far as 8.1 --- older versions used few enough local buffers
that the issue isn't significant for them.
