Glib Object Caching

[Kaustubh Atrawalkar <kaustubh atrawalkar celunite com>]

Hi

Is there any object caching mechanism in glib? The paper given in the 
gslice.c header part says the there is object caching mechanism. But i 
wonder hows exactly it is done? While calling g_slice_alloc function 
there is just a request of memory size. It does not mention anything 
about the object identification. Also is there any prefetching done on 
the basis of object's life time prediction ?
