Thanks for getting to this before I could.  Nice improvements.

Right.  There are lot's of possible modifications and there are 
situations where various optimizations would be better and 
situations where they actually may be worse, depending on the 
application's use of malloc/free etc.  It's difficult to come up 
with general optimizations that work better in all cases.  I don't 
know the  distribution of malloc/free in the universe to know for 
sure which additional optimizations would be best to implement.

Anyway, nice work.
