Doesn't the benchmark also just allocate and then immediately free? I think I could specialise for that particular use pattern and make it very fast just for the benchmarks. Will that not work for some reason? A good benchmark might be a replayed set of allocate and free operations from a large real application.

It does, but with random sizes. If think you have a way to make that run faster than the provided implementations, then please show us.
