Yeah, I think that is the biggest hit. The SLOB does the old K&R memory
management. Basically, right from the book.  But it is slow and can
fragment very easily.

I have a little more to do on this patch, (I don't perform the correct
cleanup on kmem_cache_destroy), but I'll send it to you anyway within
the next couple of minutes.  Just so you can take a look and try it out.
