I have several ideas based on results of profiling that I did done. 

There are several interesting things, on my computer most mallocs 
are 16byte and 32byte, 27.68% of time malloc  allocates at most 16 bytes. 
Also most allocations happen in loop.

I need some time to format results in presentable way. How much time do
you have?
