> Currently the slab allocator allocates 1MB per column family.  This has been very beneficial for gc efficiency.  However, it makes it more difficult to have large numbers of column families.
> It would be preferable to have a more intelligent way to allocate slabs so that there is more flexibility between slab allocator and non-slab allocator behaviour.
> A simple first step is to ramp up size of slabs from small (say  8KB) when empty, to 1MB after a few slabs.
