The use is different, so it's a bad comparison, really.

SLAB has to satisfy all kinds of object lifetimes, all kinds
of sizes and use cases, and perform generally well in all
situations with zero knowledge about usage patterns.

Networking is strictly the opposite of that set of requirements.  We
know all of these parameters (or their ranges) and can on top of that
control them if necessary.
