Description
Over a year ago i was hunting heap fragmentation in out BESS product. I noticed there was a lot of 4 bytes allocations, that really allocates space for one memory pointer. This is very inefficient.
On top of this, 5.3 that we where using at the time, but this 4 byte allocation in external ram, but the queue or semaphore referring to was placed in internal ram, causing a big performance issue. I think that very problem was sorted out now, by using mem_malloc but the other optimizations that i added that have been running flawlessly in our production for over a year is added here in my PR.
