I think a change to obmalloc is not going to get accepted unless we
can show it doesn't hurt these micro-benchmarks.  To displace the
status quo, it has to give other advantages as well.  I don't have
any agenda or "problem to solve".  After Tim made a PR to allow
obmalloc to use larger pools, I thought it would be interesting to
see if a arena mapping scheme based on radix trees should be
performance competitive.  I'm not proposing any changes to CPython
at this point.  I'm sharing the results of an experiment.  I thought
it was interesting.  I guess you don't.
