Hello,

To increase the performance (speed) of jsref on windows platform I use
not standard memory manager (Doug Lea's Malloc,
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html). Performance speed is
definitely improved and everything looks fine but I still have a
slight doubts.

When I was inserting dlmalloc to the engine, I noticed that somewhere
the engine uses malloc/free functions and in some other places it uses
JS_malloc/JS_free which in their turn use same malloc/free.
I was wondering if jsref follows any well-defined memory policy?

Thanks!
