<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>A managed private heap for small allocations. </p>
<p>This is used to allocate a large number of small objects from a paged heap as needed and to then release them together all at once. This pattern has significiently less overhead than using malloc and offers less locking contention since the memory pager can also have it's own mutex. Pager pool allocated memory is always aligned to the optimal data size for the cpu bus and pages are themselves created from memory aligned allocations. A page size for a memory pager should be some multiple of the OS paging size.</p>
<p>The mempager uses a strategy of allocating fixed size pages as needed from the real heap and allocating objects from these pages as needed. A new page is allocated from the real heap when there is insufficient space in the existing page to complete a request. The largest single memory allocation one can make is restricted by the page size used, and it is best to allocate objects a significent fraction smaller than the page size, as fragmentation occurs at the end of pages when there is insufficent space in the current page to complete a request. </p>

<p>Determine fragmentation level of acquired heap pages. </p>
<p>This is represented as an average % utilization (0-100) and represents the used portion of each allocated heap page vs the page size. Since requests that cannot fit on an already allocated page are moved into a new page, there is some unusable space left over at the end of the page. When utilization approaches 100, this is good. A low utilization may suggest a larger page size should be used. </p>
