stupid question: how to use malloc/new efficiently

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

I never thought about it until I recently read it somewhere:

should one always use malloc/new for buffers with sizes which are multiples of 
1K/1 page i.e. usually 4K or something like this ?
If not, malloc will end up with a lot of small buffers of random sizes which 
are hard to reuse and therefor it has to get new memory.

Is this still valid or can this be ignored ?

Bye
Alex
