+/*
+ *
+ *
+ * The goal with this application is to compare the performance
+ * between different STL allocators relative to the default
+ * __pool_alloc.
+ *
+ * The container used for the tests is vector, which as stated by
+ * SGI "Vector is the simplest of the STL container classes, and in
+ * many cases the most efficient.".
+ *
+ * NOTE! The vector<> container does some "caching" of it's own and
+ * therefore we redeclare the variable in each iteration (forcing the
+ * const/destr to be called and thus free memory).
+ *
+ * NOTE! The usage of gettimeofday is unwanted since it's not POSIX,
+ * however I have not found a more generic system call to use -
+ * ideas are greatly appriciated!
+ *
+ * NOTE! This version only does operations on vector<int>. More/other
+ * data types should maybe also be tested - ideas are always welcome!
+ *
+ * I assume that glibc/underlying malloc() implementation has been
+ * compiled with -O2 thus should this application also be compiled
+ * with -O2 in order to get relevant results.
