As rtl_alloc_cache is called 600k times on writer startup I looked at
it.
I made the function somewhat simpler to read by removing an indention
level (unfortunately making the diff harder to read), and also tried to
microoptimize a tiny bit.
Would the compiler be smart enough to optimize this on compilation to
identical code or is the new one a tiny tad nicer?
- if (n >= SAL_MAX_SIZE - (RTL_MEMALIGN + RTL_MEMALIGN - 1))
+ if (n > SAL_MAX_SIZE - 2 * RTL_MEMALIGN
I reran with callgrind and it *seemed* to use a bit less CPU
instructions but I am not experienced enough to really judge this.
The new code is easier to read in any case (I think). Would someone have
a quick look at the patch?

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Simplify rtl_alloc_cache somewhat
1) Simplify the calculation somewhat by replacing this:
- if (n >= SAL_MAX_SIZE - (RTL_MEMALIGN + RTL_MEMALIGN - 1))
+ if (n > SAL_MAX_SIZE - 2 * RTL_MEMALIGN
This function is called 600k times on writer startup, so even microoptimizations here might matter.
2) Remove one indentation level by returning early rather than indenting the whole function in an if() {}.
