Releasing smaller blocks is costly and only yields significant
results when there is a large percentage of free bytes for a given
size class (see numbers below).
This CL introduces a couple of additional checks for sizes lower
than 256. First we want to make sure that there is enough free bytes,
relatively to the amount of allocated bytes. We are looking at 8X% to
9X% (smaller blocks require higher percentage). We also want to make
sure there has been enough activity with the freelist to make it
worth the time, so we now check that the bytes pushed to the freelist
is at least 1/16th of the allocated bytes for those classes.
Additionally, we clear batches before destroying them now - this
could have prevented some releases to occur (class id 0 rarely
releases anyway).
Here are the numbers, for about 1M allocations in multiple threads:
