I sometimes think that FreeBSD's zone allocator tries to be too many things at once. Maybe zinit() should have a ZONE_TYPESTABLE flag so that only for code that really requires type-stability do we guarantee to provide it. That would pave the way for some kind of memory reuse mechanism, should it prove beneficial.
