  34 <p>
  35         Using Pools gives you more control over how memory is used in your program.
  36         For example, you could have a situation where you want to allocate a bunch
  37         of small objects at one point, and then reach a point in your program where
  38         none of them are needed any more. Using pool interfaces, you can choose to
  39         run their destructors or just drop them off into oblivion; the pool interface
  40         will guarantee that there are no system memory leaks.

  46       </h6>
  47 <p>
  48         Pools are generally used when there is a lot of allocation and deallocation
  49         of small objects. Another common usage is the situation above, where many
  50         objects may be dropped out of memory.
  51       </p>
  52 <p>
  53         In general, use Pools when you need a more efficient way to do unusual memory
  54         control.
