Perhaps David Dawes, who I know follows this list, might elaborate; but I know that they're in the midst of their beta, compounded by the holiday, so now might not be the best time to get an answer. I expect that it's simply the case that they noticed observed patterns in the memory allocation profile, and they optimized the Xalloc allocator to do better for the most common allocation scenarios. I'm not at liberty to disclose their sources, you'll have to wait for them to release 3.1.3 to see what they did. -- Kaleb
