Description:
------------
serialize use a lot of realloc which are very slow on FreeBSD

>From - http://rgarciasuarez.free.fr/p5p/p5p-200307-1.pod -

Dan Kogai explained that FreeBSD comes with an implementation of
malloc()
that is optimized for paged memory, and safe from duplicate free()
calls.
But the downside is that realloc() is very slow. That's usually not a
big
deal, because most programs don't use realloc() very often -- but perl
does. (The default configuration of perl on FreeBSD is to use perl's
internal malloc, that hasn't this realloc limitation.)

Serialize use a fix incremental value (SMART_STR_PREALLOC in
php_smart_ptr.h). It better for serialize to use exponential
incremential value to reduce number of realloc.
