i have (hopefully?) addressed Rajini's concern of muting all connections ahead of time on the KIP-72 PR. as for avoiding the pool for small allocations i think thats a great idea. I also think you could implement it as a composite pool :-) (composite redirects all requests under size X to the NONE pool and above X to some "real" pool)
