&gt;What if I modified bigarray_stubs.c to use the malloc and free calls of

&gt;the Boehm gc (6.1-4) garbage collector? My reasoning is that malloc is 
&gt;performing poorly due to fragmentation, and switching to a gc'd version

&gt;might help out.
&gt;Before I try this I would like some feedback from the list on the 
&gt;soundness of this idea.

I don't mean to be a nag, but did you profile your application yet?  A
very 
wise programmer once said, "Assume Nothing".
