5. The slab allocator contains may many glorious features not used by
anybody in the current kernel.
Maybe that's the darvinistic proof that theyr are not as usefull
as one would think in first place?
They must stay, they are used when a major leak or other type of
allocation bug exists in a subsystem. You turn them on to catch the
bug in the act, never leave them on in production. This is an
important debugging tool myself and others use on occaision, and I
don't want it to disappear on me.
