   OK, fair enough, newer heap allocators may be faster than old basic   
   ones, but they're still not trivial operations, and presumably will   
   still have to employ locking strategies for multi-threaded   
   environments?   
      
   i.e. In some situations they may be quite a lot better than less   
   optimal old implementations used to be - but you should always   
   consider them as having a notable performance impact?
