There are now many mature and high quality allocation libraries we could choose from that most likely reduce fragmentation. For instance, Google's allocator, Intel's allocator (shipping with Intel TBB) and jmalloc, used by Firefox. I think that it'd be worth exploring these different allocators and see if any of them offers significant performance improvements for Wesnoth. (Actually doing something like this seems like a nice example of an achievable GSoC project to me). David
