Freelist

The malloc() and free() functions are used heavily in games processing, where, inspite of their versatility, they only have to control blocks of a few sizes. So it is faster to reserve blocks for the commonly stored structures when the application is initialized. When a structure is needed it is allocated a block of the appropriate size, and when it is no longer needed, its memory can be reclaimed. This is faster and uses memory more efficiently. FreeLists are supported by RwFreeList.
