/*
 * 
 *
 * 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.
