Motivation: Remove the synchronization bottleneck in PoolArena and so speed up things Modifications: This implementation uses kind of the same technics as outlined in the jemalloc paper and jemalloc blogpost https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/scalable-memory-allocation-using-jemalloc/480222803919. At the moment we only cache for "known" Threads (that powers EventExecutors) and not for others to keep the overhead minimal when need to free up unused buffers in the cache and free up cached buffers once the Thread completes. Here we use multi-level caches for tiny, small and normal allocations. Huge allocations are not cached at all to keep the memory usage at a sane level. All the different cache configurations can be adjusted via system properties or the constructor directly where it makes sense. Result: Less conditions as most allocations can be served by the cache itself |

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
