I tested an earlier version of this code on FreeBSD.  I posted my
results (brief summary: it reconfirmed that the FreeBSD malloc has a
different profile than Linux malloc under MT tests).  Since this patch
is *not* changing the default allocator, I'd approve of it without
more retesting.  Nathan raised interesting points (in fact, the
FreeBSD malloc implements that type of stuff, which is why it beats
the libstdc++-v3 pool allocators, especially in MT cases) but I don't
think they are a strike against this incremental improvement.
