Thanks.  But I must also say the object allocator could be speed up 
because at the time I wrote this there was no way to allocate 
consecutive bytes from a pool in constant complexity.  I am still using 
fast_pool_allocator<block_header>:
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/block_ptr/boost/block_ptr.hpp

That's one more improvement that can be done and it'll be perfect.
