Every reallocated I'm aware of uses pools.

Yes please.

Bike-shedding but if she's going to use that many units O(log(N)) will be 
nothing compared to the expected insn storm to follow. Inc by max(initial 
value, 64, let's say - short of double initial value - is still overestimated 
IMHO.
Thanks for taking care of this either way.
