I've been testing out boost pool allocator, and my results shows it's slower than the STL allocator. I'm using VSNet 2005 SP1. See test code below.

My understanding is that the pool allocator is made for repeated allocation and deallocation of same-sized blocks, in which case the result makes sense. I think it's more intended for use with node-based containers such as list and map.
