Python has a memory allocator optimized for allocations <= 512 bytes: PyObject_Malloc(). It was discussed to replace it by the native "Low-fragmentation Heap" memory allocator on Windows.

I'm not aware of anyone who tried that. I would nice to try, especially to run benchmarks.

See also the issue #26249: "Change PyMem_Malloc to use PyObject_Malloc allocator?".
