FastMM4 large memory allocation–benchmarking VirtualAlloc
Earlier this week a long-time customer asked me why FastMM allocates large memory blocks from the top of the memory and if that option could safely be turned off. Their reasoning was that such allocations are much slower than normal ones. The question surprised me as I didn’t know of any such difference in speed so I did what I usually do–I wrote a benchmark application and measured it.
TLThere were, however, other interesting results that my simple benchmark pointed out. More on that in a moment, but first…; DR Yes, allocating from the top is slower. No, the difference is not big and in most cases you’ll not even notice it.

Books, books, books
Dear reader,
You probably know that I write books. A big part of making a book, however, is not just writing it, but letting all the potential readers out there know that the book exists. I'm doing a lot there - and so is my publisher - but still we can't reach all the potential readers ourselves.
That's where you come in!
If you have read any of my books and if you loved it and want the others to know, please consider publishing a review on the Amazon site. More reviews make Amazon algorithms treat the book with more respect and they recommend it more to customers.
Leave the review here: Delphi High Performance, Hands-on Design Patterns with Delphi.
You can also just tell your colleagues in any social circle - digital or real-life - that you like the book. Spread the word!
If you think that is too much and you don't want to get involved so deep, it doesn't matter. I still love you.
On the other hand, i f you didn't like my book, let me know. I want to improve, so tell me why you don't like it and what I can do to make my next book better. My contact info is here.
Thank you,
Primož

Deep Dive into Design Patterns

While writing Design Patterns with Delphi, I spent quite some time researching existing literature on design patterns implementation in Delphi, design patterns in other languages, other types of patterns, design principles and so on …
In case you would like to dig deeper than the book takes you, here is my reading list.
