was some discussion somewhere, and that’s all.
Our main issue is that nobody really feels capable of reviewing it :(
The initial contributors of the heap manager are basically gone and
nobody else is really that deep into this code to do a review.
Life is short, you know. Especially if your de/allocations randomly
become slow on their own (chopping up or finalizing the fixed OS chunk
by the current heap.inc: extra 100 nanoseconds per allocation) and in
addition to that hit https://preshing.com/20110717/the-windows-heap-is-
slow-when-launched-from-the-debugger/ (HeapAlloc under the debugger:
extra 10 MICROseconds per allocation, absolutely terrible, I can watch
e.g. dynamic strings being built and output one by one rather than
instantly when hitting this case).
