| valign="top" | Try to implement an internal memory manager. It should, for example, pre-allocate about 10% of system ram memory and try to operate within that memory. All calls to "free()" should release memory to this global memory pool and all calls to "malloc()" must allocate memory from this memory pool. If properly implemented, we can even reduce the overheads that may arise due to such an implementation.

| valign="top" | [[User:Shyamk|Shyam]]| valign="top" | A repost of the idea I posted [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Feature_Brainstorming:Performance Here] (Firefox3 Brainstorming).<br><br>Shyam: what qualifications do you have to mentor this project? - Gerv <br><br>Grev: Replied to you by e-mail, and updated this [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode07:Mentors wiki]. Needless to say, I {can/would like} to get dirty in implementing this along with the student (In case of time constraints).<br><br>Shyam: mentors need to have Mozilla community experience. A mentor is not a co-worker by another name :-) - Gerv. <br><br> Grev: Point taken ! Removed my name from mentor column. I can help the student who comes in to work on this as an outside contributor, and not as GSoC student, as I just graduated :-(
