 * 2 ** MINBUCKET is the smallest unit of memory that will be
 * allocated. It must be at least large enough to hold a pointer.
 *
 * Units of memory less or equal to MAXALLOCSAVE will permanently
 * allocate physical memory; requests for these size pieces of memory
 * are quite fast. Allocations greater than MAXALLOCSAVE must
 * always allocate and free physical memory; requests for these size
 * allocations should be done infrequently as they will be slow.
