Thanks for optimizing objpool. Both looks good to me.

BTW, I don't intend to stop this short-term optimization attempts,
but I would like to ask you check the new fgraph based fprobe 
(kretprobe-multi)[1] instead of objpool/rethook.

I'm considering to obsolete the kretprobe (and rethook) with fprobe
and eventually remove it. Those have similar feature and we should
choose safer one.

Thank you,
