Hi,

Just for the records I have benchmarked block_ptr using:
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/block_ptr/libs/smart_ptr/example/benchmark.cpp

And I get the following:
auto_ptr:                    9208870 ns
shared_ptr:                 22958516 ns
block_ptr:                  75860365 ns

Which is pretty good given the complexity it goes thru.

I was wondering if there is any hope in having a pool::ordered_malloc() 
call of O(1) instead of O(n) and a faster pool::is_from()?  The latter 
could be just a check to see if a pointer is within reserved memory 
pages of the pool.  I tried to talk to the author of pool but I got no 
response.

Thanks,
-Phil
