/*
* nsRecyclingAllocator
*
* This allocator is useful when we cycle through a small set of allocations
* repeatedly with minimal overlap. For eg. something we do for every gif
* file read (or) buffers required for decompression of every file from jar.
*
* What this does is keeps around the first set of memory allocated and
* reuses it subsequently. If all buckets are full, this falls back to
* malloc/free
*
* Uses a timer to release all memory allocated if not used for more than
* 10 secs automatically.
*
* Also there is a 4 byte maintenance overhead on every allocation.
*
* This allocator is thread safe.
*
* CAVEATS: As the number of buckets increases, this allocators performance
* will drop, as the list of freed items is a linked list sorted on size.
