What would be the point of increasing the pool size? Apart from being able to allocate 4KB objects out of it, I mean. Since 4KB+ objects are relatively uncommon (I mean we don't allocate hundreds of thousands of them per second), I don't think it's really worthwhile trying to have the small object allocator handle them. > It would be nice to find a different way for pymalloc to figure out > which addresses belong to it.

Why change it?
