Currently, flow may allocate several action resources during creation. Both allocate the individual resources and save the object handles have big memory overhead for the flow.
Indexed memory pool is introduced to optimize the memory overhead. The resources can be allocated from the resource's own individual memory pool and only the 32-bits index is saved to the flow. In this case, it saves MALLOC_ELEM_OVERHEAD and 4 bytes for every flow resources.
