 \defgroup MemPoolsAPI  Memory Management (Memory Pool Allocator)
 \ingroup Components
 *
 *\par
 *  MemPools are a pooled memory allocator running on top of malloc(). It's
 *  purpose is to reduce memory fragmentation and provide detailed statistics
 *  on memory consumption.
 *
 \par
 *  Preferably all memory allocations in Squid should be done using MemPools
 *  or one of the types built on top of it (i.e. cbdata).
 *
 \note Usually it is better to use cbdata types as these gives you additional
 *     safeguards in references and typechecking. However, for high usage pools where
 *     the cbdata functionality of cbdata is not required directly using a MemPool
 *     might be the way to go.
