Content
The problem with choosing a sensible freelist size is that we don't have any reference workloads. However, I just tested with 10000 and it doesn't seem to slow anything down anyway. It doesn't make our microbenchmarks I thought the patch to compact freelists at each full gc collection had been committed, but it doesn't seem there. Perhaps it will change matters quite a bit. On the one hand, it will allow for bigger freelists with less worries of degrading memory footprint (but still, potential cache pollution). On the other hand, the bigger the freelists, the more expensive it is to deallocate them.
