Analysis of Bump Allocator Performance

[CeleritasCelery]

As part of the work I was doing on minimum alignment, I wrote a blog post analyzing bump allocator performance. I wanted to share that here to see if you had any insights or feedback since this is the most popular Rust bump allocation crate.

Thanks for writing that up and sharing, I did actually see that post late last night on r/rust, but I haven't had a chance to do more than skim it thus far. I'm a bit swamped at the moment, so I probably won't be able to get to do a more in-depth analysis for a week or so. But again I appreciate you sharing it!

I'm curious as to the result of this (it has been far more than a week). Is it likely this might lead to changes in bumpalo in the future?

Yes, I have some changes, including some perf improvements, in a branch but it isn't ready for merging yet and I haven't had time to clean things up yet.
