Abstract
This functions maintains two trees: a fast access tree referring to memory blocks of a size most often requested, and a general access tree referring to memory blocks of a size less often requested. After satisfying a request for a memory block, the function adjusts the trees to ensure that the fast access tree refers to memory blocks of the size most often requested. By providing such functionality, the function improves its performance over time through self-adaptation.
