Subject: Non-contiguous memory allocation

Hello folks!

Two months ago, you suggest us an interface implementation in non-contiguous 
memory allocation:

Our question: there are (or --> there was... :) any work in this area? 
Somebody tried to implement this?

Also, do you have any suggestions on how to measure the benefits of this 
approach once it is implemented? For example, which metrics should be used 
and which tools can we use to measure them?

Thanks!
LMB, Ruthiano.
