One more comment on the overhead of malloc and free.

"Tracers" uses malloc and free internally, and still runs fast enough that
it's unplayable at 21 volts on a standard A1000. Any time you're using malloc
the free will be lost in the noise. If speed is that important you should
probably be using a more efficient memory management mechanism than malloc
anyway, like a set of fixed size buffer pools or something.
