emalloc caches small memory blocks (certain amount of them), which are
pre-allocated at the init time. I.e., actual malloc() doesn't get called
every time emalloc() is called. But this cache is mostly useful for Zend's
own memory allocations, it won't help if you allocate a lot of space in
your scripts.

That would require us to implement own memory management, which is not too
simple.
