I think you're completely correct that this can _happen_, but I'm a bit
unconvinced that what you're talking about is the thing which dominates
the results. I'm sure it plays a role, but the tests I was doing were
doing tens of millions of allocations and touching a _lot_ of 'struct
pages'. I would not expect these effects to be observable across such a
large sample of pages.
