Parameters

ParentAllocator	An allocator that is by the pool allocator used to allocate memory. Note: The multi pool allocator only supports clear if this function is also implemented for ParentAllocator. Default: Simple Allocator
BLOCKING_LIMIT	The maximum size for memory blocks to be pooled. Note that memory blocks larger than BLOCKING_LIMIT are not pooled but immediately allocated and deallocated using ParentAllocator. Default: 256 Freed blocks are not immediately deallocated but recycled in subsequential allocations. This way, the number of calls to the heap manager is reduced, and that speeds up memory management.

Remarks

A pool allocator allocates several memory blocks at once.
