I mean using the Low Fragmentation Allocator for PyObject_Malloc()
instead of pymalloc.

Martin wrote (msg148605):
"As an alternative approach, Python could consider completely dropping
obmalloc on Windows, and using a Windows Low Fragementation Heap (LFH)
instead, with HEAP_NO_SERIALIZE (as the heap would be protected by the
GIL)."
