I was going to ask why he didn't compare his algorithm with dlmalloc, 
but I see it actually is based on dlmalloc.  So I wonder what exactly 
the differences is between this and dlmalloc.

Incidentally I know this guy from his posts on the FOX mailing lists. 
He's been working on this thing called Tn[1] for about 10 years.  He's 
either insane or brilliant I can't really tell.  :-) Read the 
description of "What is Tn" to see what I mean.
