- Everyone was complaining about how the runtime routines didn't release
- memory back to the OS so they hooked the allocations functions
- directly to the NT heap manager functions to allow this. Apparently
- they are not very fast. Maybe NT 4.0 will be faster.
-
- In any event, you can recompile the libraries with a flag, can't
- remember the name, to hook in the 2.2 heap management routines.
- Another option would be a third party manager which could give you a
- further boost over 2.2's routines.
