Yes, that patch looks like it is targeted at speeding larger allocations 
(where mine speeds smaller ones). These are similar fixes for opposite 
ends of the spectrum. And, the two should be simple to merge. Though, I 
don't believe the 0x08 on that one actually does anything (since these 
values include the arena overhead, and the smallest allocation I've seen 
is 8). However, I haven't looked at many examples, and I believe if an 
allocation request of 4 is possible, then that *would* hit that "0x08" bin.
