[dependencies] mempool = "0.1"

Benchmarks

test bench::mempool_get_put ... bench: 27 ns/iter (+/- 0) test bench::mpmc_get_put ... bench: 32 ns/iter (+/- 0) test bench::mutex_get_put ... bench: 45 ns/iter (+/- 0) test bench::refcell_get_put ... bench: 17 ns/iter (+/- 0) test bench::treiber_get_put ... bench: 95 ns/iter (+/- 1)

Motivation

I needed a very fast way to reuse allocations across multiple threads, potentially optimizing single threaded use over multithreaded use.

Future work

The current implementation uses a spin lock, which assumes there is very little contention.
