README

lvlbp

Leveled byte pool. Inspired by VictoriaMetrics.

Rationale

Instead of having 1 pool for byte slices, we create multiple pools that are serving slices of a particular size. This reduces overhead for the smaller slices, because they will not be resized when we request for the bigger slices. Also library provides stats to see how many allocations do we have for each class.

Install

go get github.com/cristalhq/lvlbp

Example

size := 42
bb := lvlbp.Get(size)
defer lvlbp.Put(bb)

// do something with bb of size `closestPowerOf2(42)`
