[A83] Re: speed question [O/T]
Simple. The VAT is constantly being rearranged. The VAT never gets
fragmented. It uses a simple heap algorithm. The VAT grows from the
highest memory address (bottom) to the lowest address (top). Anytime
something changes in size, it gets moved to the top and everything else gets
rearranged to fill in the gap.
