Detailed Description

Private heaps, pools, and associations.

Private heaps often can reduce locking contention in threaded applications since they do not require using the global "malloc" function. Private heaps also can be used as auto-release heaps, where all memory allocated and handled out for small objects can be automatically released all at once. Pager pools are used to optimize system allocation around page boundaries. Associations allow private memory to be tagged and found by string identifiers.
