- The reason they change it was because there is a major problem with
- the old scheme. It fragments memory too much, and hence winds up
- allocating to much (if your app does enough new/mallocs you could
- cause even NT to fail with insf. memory). This was hyped quite a bit
- in the press (the article is at my office). Personally for the apps
- I write the new scheme is better (if I need speed I use a third party
- heap manager)
