I have been running the no-InternalMalloc XFree for two days now the the list
now has 37 entries.

Why does the internal malloc of XFree make the list grow to 157 entries in
one day when the other allocation method behaves a lot better?  And why do
things become so slow when the list length grows to 150+ entries?

(No, I haven't seen the freeze recently.. I have 74 MB of swap in use with
64 MB of physical RAM..)
