Getting a better containers unit is nice, but the root of the
problem seems to be the memory manager. Delphi's old memory manager
had fragmentation issues also. That is why NexusMM, BucketMM and
FastMM we created. FastMM is now included with Delphi as the main
memory manager. Not only does it solve memory fragmentation issues,
it is much faster than the old memory manager (especially in
multithreaded apps).
FastMM is open source, has anyone ported it to FPC?
There are users that have got FastMM working with FPC. But it is not
needed. The standard FPC heap manager is for single-threaded
applications as fast as FastMM.
