We are starting a project of several related applications in MPW C++.
Long term plans include porting to other platforms.  In the interest
of ease of porting, it would be nice to use malloc/free instead of the
mac specific memory manager calls.

If any of you have experience with the MPW versions of these, could
you please answer the following questions:

1) How does malloc/free actually work on the mac?
2) How is the performance?
3) Are there any problems you have run into?

Advice needed and appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
