I don't think the parent post was suggesting you completely avoid dynamic allocation just minimize it. Because it's not a question of dynamic vs static memory but # of allocations / second / thread. And often it's a question of delayed optimization where you suspect what your doing needs to change, but you avoid optimizing until you have some performance data.

I was more talking about the difficulty of testing the performance of a multithreaded dynamic memory allocator. Because moving dynamic memory allocation off the critical path of an application is a common first optimization, it was difficult to find interesting applications to use as benchmarks.
