I'd consider using another library, or allocate your objects in bulk yourself 
and, e.g. store the unused objects in a boost::intrusive::slist until they're 
needed.
boost::object_pool has some major problems, e.g. linear complexity of free().
the library is a decade old and I don't think it would be accepted if it was 
reviewed as it is today.
