Comment (by anonymous):

 I'm not sure it's useless - if you want to test your code under valgrind
 then you have to do *something* to stop the blizzard of messages that
 would otherwise result - that was the best I could come up with at the
 time - it's tested in the Jamfile as well, but apparently I forgot to
 document it :-(

 It does disable pooling, but the alternative (using the valgrind API's to
 mark up the blocks) is so incredibly slow as to be completely useless.  So
 if you have a better idea then great.... but I think it needs something
 like this?
