I couldn't get NedMalloc to compile under DMC but dlmalloc which 
nedmalloc uses compiled and the results I got from some c code were like 
1:5.
I wonder what would happen if dlmalloc was used as the base allocator in 
Ares or Phobos, would there be any improvement? (I just messed thing up 
when playing with phobos but will look into it again as for Ares the 
dsource site seems to be having problems).
