How large chunks are you using?
At least for Linux malloc() you might want to change this criteria for
the larger pools. Any allocations of 128KB or more is done outside the
heap, making sorting on address irrelevant. Can be tuned to use a lower
limit, or done manually using mmap() to allocate the chunks.
