I know that barrier ought to die, but why we allocate more than twice as

Please review the thread surrounding this change:


2002-08-14 Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com>

	* ggc-page.c (RTL_SIZE): New.
	(extra_order_size_table): Add specializations for 2 and 10 rtl slots.
	* rtl.def (BARRIER, NOTE): Pad to 9 slots.

and see if your patch introduces a speed regression. If you want, you can annotate the reason why it is the way it is... so that the next person to stumble across it understand why it is that way.
