So knowing both systems, I can say that the Apache apr_pool is a much cleaner design then MEMROOT. The concepts are the same, though pools over some additional advantages around file descriptor cleanup, but the execution of the design favors the APR. If someone wants mysys/ memroot/mystrings to compete with the APR, then a lot of effort will need to go into doing that. Cheers, -Brian
