Malloc/Free..mmm..I love to hate it

If you've been programming in Java for the last few years, then I'm sure you must've lost touch with concepts like Pointers, Memory allocation, Paging and all those "wonderful" things one has to worry about while programming in C/C++. So, if you are looking to refresh your knowledge about those topics, here are a few docs to help you get started:

• http://www-128.ibm.com/.....dgr-lnxw01JavaUrbanLegends
• http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/ArchitectNotes
• http://www.slideshare.net/e...highperformance-applications
• http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tcmalloc.html
  

Actually, it doesn't look all that bad. Some of these Memory Managers are really good.
