It would be nice if a meaning of fastbin was described here. It is allocation cache (for increasing cpu cache hit ratio) from point of bird view. > .TP > .I hblks > The number of blocks currently allocated using > .BR mmap (2).

Also nice if refer mallopt and MMAP_THRESHOLD. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
