[infinispan-dev] Adaptive marshaller buffer sizes - ISPN-1102

[Tristan Tarrant]

I don't know if I'm actually contributing something here or just creating noise.

Are these buffers reused over time ? If not, from a GC point of view
it would be better then not to reduce the size of the buffer just to
save a few bytes: it would mean throwing to GC a perfectly valid bit
of memory. Increasing the size is another matter.
If Infinispan is not reusing buffers, why isn't it ?

Sorry if this is out of scope.
