// TimerEventAllocator is a thread-safe allocator used only for nsTimerEvents.
// It's needed to avoid contention over the default allocator lock when
// firing timer events (see bug 733277).  The thread-safety is required because
// nsTimerEvent objects are allocated on the timer thread, and freed on another
// thread.  Because TimerEventAllocator has its own lock, contention over that
// lock is limited to the allocation and deallocation of nsTimerEvent objects.
//
// Because this allocator is layered over PLArenaPool, it never shrinks -- even
// "freed" nsTimerEvents aren't truly freed, they're just put onto a free-list
// for later recycling.  So the amount of memory consumed will always be equal
// to the high-water mark consumption.  But nsTimerEvents are small and it's
// unusual to have more than a few hundred of them, so this shouldn't be a
