Can you please share some numbers if you have them? How much improvement, etc.

60% decrease in startup time, 10% improvement in general runtime. Of course if you exceed the initial allocation the whole thing will crash. That could probably be worked around with a bit more intelligence in the allocator.

This was part of a class project so not available online unfortunately. It’s good practice to implement it yourself though! There are lots of resources online for implementing fast allocators.
