Last I asked around it sounded like it was required on Windows for older systems that had an atrocious malloc implementation. On a modern GNU/Linux, glibc's malloc uses both less memory than GSlice and is significantly faster (and doesn't screw up gdb). I did a bunch of benchmarks[1] on this last year at the Berlin hackfest. I'd love to hear from the GStreamer folks on all of this anyway, since I believe they are likely the heaviest user of GLib+win32. [1] https://github.com/chergert/alloctest
