No. What he means is that this 'zeroing process' will happen during
*all* idle time. If you do a malloc and request that the area is zeroed,
it will select an area that it has *already* zeroed. If that is not
available, it will still do the zeroing for you. Adding that flag to a
malloc *guarantees* a zeroed area. The change allows *room for*
optimization.
