------- Additional Comments From jorton@redhat.com  2005-01-12 11:33 -------
Just brain-dumping, the design issue here is, per Jeff's analysis and subsequent
discussion:

1. brigades are allocated out of pools
2. every call to apr_brigade_split allocates a new brigade
3. every time a FLUSH bucket it sent down the filter stack, it causes at least
one call to apr_brigade_split

fixes for this could be either:

fix (1), allocate brigades out of the bucket-allocator so that they can really
be free'd (very intrusive since many filters presume brigades are never really
destroyed)

fix (3), adjust all filters to ensure that they don't allocate a number of
brigades per request (and hence, memory allocated) which is proportional to
number of FLUSH buckets sent.
