> 99% of all long allocations are coming from freelist when it's there. Detailed statistics from a test suite run see in msg242886. Only a half of ints are single-digit with 15-bit digits, and 3/4 with 30-bit digits. 86% of ints are 32-bit. The majority of ints (about 2/3) are small ints in the range [-5..256]. These patches don't affect them. That is why the effect of patches is not very significant.
