So where do you spend the cycles?  The do not memset the whole bio
optimization is pretty obvious and is someting we should do independent
of the allocator.

The other thing that sucks is the mempool implementation, as it forces
each allocation and free to do an indirect call.  I think it might be
worth to try to frontend it with a normal slab cache and only fall back
to the mempool if that fails.
